Antique 18thC Bow Porcelain Fork Handle Sterling Silver & Iron English England

A superb 18th century English porcelain handled fork made most likely by Bow around 1760. The handle is made of porcelain that has a nice hand painted under glaze blue design to it reminiscent of St. The ferrule that connects the fork part and the handle or at least covers that part is made of Sterling silver and the two prong fork part seems to be made of iron.

A great example and not something you find often by any means! The piece is in great condition with some expected wear and oxidation but about as good an example as you could hope for! The piece is just under 8 inches long and the thickest porcelain part is 1 inch wide. The porcelain handle part is about 3 inches long (the part that shows). Not marked but the design and paste fit Bow perfectly.
