The set includes a finely pierced and engraved fish slice along with a matching fork, both displaying classic Victorian decorative motifs such as scrolling foliage, intricate lattice work, and a central engraved fish scene on the blade. The craftsmanship is exceptionally fine and reflects the refined dining traditions of the period.

Each utensil features a smooth, creamy handle—likely ivorine—topped with ornate silver-plated collars and finials that add a pleasing contrast to the highly detailed blades. The silver plating retains an attractive luster, showing only light, age-appropriate wear consistent with gentle use and careful storage. The original presentation box remains sturdy and functional, with some expected wear to the fabric, yet still providing a dramatic and charming display.

Whether used as a serving piece for special occasions or displayed as a decorative object, this Victorian fish set adds a sense of ceremony and history to the table. Collectors of antique silver, lovers of Victorian dining culture, or those seeking a unique wedding or anniversary gift will appreciate the elegance and completeness of this boxed set.
