Learn More About Grape Shears
Of course we all are familiar with the basics: knives, spoons & forks. But what about all those other serving pieces that the Victorians were so fond of? They were all part of an elaborate Victorian table setting, as formal, unique serving utensils for almost every kind of food—oysters, asparagus, crackers, fruit preserves, horseradish, olives, grapes—were all part of a daily fine-dining experience.
Behold, the elegant Victorian Silverplate Grape Shears! Specifically designed for elegantly cutting grape stalks at the table, the handles are longer than the blades, so that one could insert the blades deeply into a cluster of grapes. The tips of the shears were purposefully blunt, so that they won't puncture the fruit. The patterns of grape shears varied widely, from detailed grapevine motifs to classic designs that would complement the rest of a cutlery set.
Grape shears may be an antiquated idea for some - but they are as practical as ever, with grapes being a classic accompaniment to cheese. Adding a pair of decorative grape shears to a cheese board along with a cluster of grapes is sure to be a detail that will not go unnoticed!
