Aksel Scharning Norwegian Silver-Plated and Turquoise Guilloche Enamel Mechanical Pincer - This mid-century mechanical serving pincer is the work of Norwegian designer Aksel Scharning. The tool is constructed from silver-plated metal and features translucent turquoise blue guilloche enamel on the circular plunger head and the finger-rest flange. It operates using a spring-loaded mechanism that, when depressed, extends three curved metal prongs from the head to grasp small items such as sugar cubes, olives, or pickles. The base of the head is decorated with an incised band of geometric chevron patterns. The interior of one prong is stamped with the mark A. SCHARNING NORWAY. Length: 4.25 inches.
