Description
These salad servers are iron with a brass plated finish, and their heads are what make them: each is a broad fan in the shape of a ginkgo leaf, ribbed with fine lines that run out from the stem to a softly scalloped edge. One head is whole and the other is split by a deep notch at the top, the familiar pairing of a spoon to scoop and a split server to hold leaves in place. Both are 32cm long, a good length for reaching the bottom of a deep salad bowl without your knuckles meeting the dressing.
They are made for the table as much as the kitchen. Lay them across a big bowl of leaves for a weekend lunch, a summer supper in the garden or a long family meal, and they do the serving while looking the part. The long handles keep hands clear of oil and vinaigrette, and the wide heads lift a generous helping of salad, roasted vegetables or grains in one go. They are food safe, so they suit anyone who likes to bring a dish to the table and let everyone help themselves. As a matched pair they also make an easy housewarming or wedding present for someone setting up a home.
Both servers are iron with a brass plated finish, and the long handles have a faceted, rippled surface that catches the light, while the fine ribs on each head echo the veins of a leaf. They are not dishwasher safe, so wash them by hand; iron does not like to sit wet, so dry them straight away. They are not microwave or oven safe either, so keep them for serving rather than cooking. Between meals, lay them side by side on a wooden board or a linen napkin on the sideboard, heads overlapping like two fallen leaves, and they earn their place even when the bowl is empty.
