Silver Muffin Fork with Nephrite Handle, New Zealand Early 20th Century  Silver Muffin Fork %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is an attractive Early 20th Century Sterling Silver Muffin Fork with a Nephrite or New Zealand Greenstone Handle. The three tines of the fork are engraved on the upper side with fern designs and above these it says KIA ORA NZ. Kia Ora is an informal Maori greeting, roughly equivalent to G'day in Australia.

New Zealand Greenstone is a hard form of Nephrite and comes in a variety of colours from a pale milky green to a very dark green, almost black, such as this example. In New Zealand it is frequently used for jewellery and often combined with silver for cutlery and flatware.

The muffin fork has a makers' mark of A.C & Co on the underside of the central tine alongside the word STERLING indicating that it is made of Sterling Silver (925/1000 purity).

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the minimal superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The muffin fork is 13.2cm / 5.2ins long and 2.7cm / 1in across the tines. It weighs 19.9g / 0.7oz.
