This is a lovely and early coin silver cake serving knife. It has a plain handle with threaded border design and is engraved on the front 'E.V. Harris from her Aunt E.R.N.V'. The shaped blade has a stunning hand-engraved design and a serrated top edge used for cutting.

This lovely small cake server is marked on the reverse with Albert Cole's trademark. It measures just under 9.25 inches long and is in good condition with a couple of small dings to the hollow handle.
