copper, stainless steel
This flatware represents one of two flatware designs created by De Patta in
the late 1930s. The disk shape of the spoon bowl relates to De Patta's
jewelry designs and the use of copper is rare in her work. The place setting
is comprised of salad fork, dinner fork, meat knife and soup spoon. This
flatware was exhibited at the Golden Gate International Exposition on
Treasure Island in 1939. This set is in original condition with minor wear
to the outer enamel, not effecting metal underneath.
