During the Victorian era, you could find a serving piece for the table for just about anything. Olive forks? Got it. Cake servers? Yep, got that to. But have you ever run across a red tomato server?
These items are
great. Tomato servers come in two
different variations, one for red tomatoes and one for green. Why in the world would you have a different
one for each type of tomatoes? It’s
simple really when you think about it.
The red tomato servers have the openings built in for all the juice from
the tomato to drain through the server and not onto your tablecloth.
The server for
the green tomatoes doesn’t have the openings for the fact that the green tomato
are not as messy and don’t need the openings.
You could even use the green tomato server for fried green tomatoes.
Currently in
my Etsy shop, there is a red tomato server that was made by the
William Rogers Company. It’s made out of silver plate
and sports the LA FRANCE pattern. You
can see the piece here.
The Victorian era truly did make a wide variety of serving pieces for the
table. What items have you run across?
