A silver plated fruit or dessert service for six, comprising six knives and six forks. The set is designed in the Art Deco style, featuring handles with vertical reeded fluting and scalloped ferrules where the handles meet the blades and tines. The silver blades and fork tines are struck with a complete set of British hallmarks, including the maker mark W, S for William Suckling Ltd, the Sheffield crown town mark, the lion passant sterling silver standard mark, and the date letter D for 1946. The service is presented in a fitted wooden case, likely oak, with a dark blue velvet-lined interior. The lid of the case features a brass double-lozenge inlay, and the front locking plate is stamped BRITISH MAKE.
