Pickle Forks and Elegance


Elegance and green olive.





I asked in the Antiques' Shop for pickle forks and was given
two specimens the best of a hundred years old.

At supper I was struck by the handsome proportions of the fork:
a span's length, superbly balanced, the curve of the fork-spoon, the quiet zeal of the tines.
