Arthur Court Grape 8-Inch Plate with Cheese Server
This hand-crafted plate-and-knife set is the ultimate way to serve cheese and grapes at a fancy function. The brilliant luster of the plate and knife handle captures the elegance of antique silver but is actually made of hand-polished aluminum, which is much easier for today's busy hostesses to maintain. The design features bunches of grapes with leaves and vines in bas-relief winding along the plate's edge and forming the handle of the cheese knife. The knife blade is made of stainless steel and its spade shape is best suited for cutting chunks from semi-hard cheeses. This aluminum serveware is not dishwasher-safe but cleans easily with mild soap and water. This set makes a wonderful shower gift for the bride who loves to entertain. As Arthur and Elena Court, owners of Arthur Court Designs, are avid conservationists, a percentage of all proceeds of their products go directly to wildlife preservation and environmental research and education projects.--Cristina Vaamonde
