專家說明

The 'Catherine de Medici 1564' inscription is a unique feature to this fork. Catherine de Medici was very important to the introduction of the fork to French High Society, making it a socially acceptable part of dining etiquette. In 1564 on her 'Grand Tour de France' she spent two years travelling across France with the aim of unifying her Kingdom and thus spreading the use of the fork across the land.
This fork is made of 316 marine grade solid stainless steel.
