Antique Ham Bone Holder

This is the first time I have ever had a ham bone holder! This exquisite silver-plated ham bone holder showcases an intricate beaded design and delicate etchings, reflecting both functionality and elegance. Originating in the 19th century, such holders became essential tools for carving and serving ham, particularly in European households where cured hams were a culinary staple. The beaded design adds a touch of sophistication, while the light etchings highlight the craftsmanship typical of the era. This holder securely grips the ham, allowing for precise, thin slices to be carved with ease, making it a centerpiece for festive occasions and family gatherings. This is 6.25" tall.
