1 Arca Salad Servers Horn Ebony Modern Italian Designer

Here is a modern 2 piece salad serving set, designed and hand made in Italy by ARCA. Online sites showing other salad servers made by Arca that appear to be made of the same materials as these, say they are made of buffalo horn (melted and shaped) with ebony handles. This pair is 13" long. Other salad servers by Arca cost upward of $200. Arca cautions to avoid excessive heat or moisture which means don't put them in the dishwasher. The spoon has a check (hairline crack) in the wood at the top back. Both spoon and fork have ridges in the back of the horn area... the spoon more so than the fork. At first I thought they were part of the design but they are surface cracks in the material. They are still a great looking set and will probably function just fine with some TLC (no dishwasher, no real hot water). Comes in red cloth bag. Purchased from an estate sale. !! Just found the original hang tag from Arca inside the bag. It reads: "You have acquired an object which has been handcrafted in Italy according with a very old tradition. Horn is a natural product. Do not expose it to great heat and above all do not wash in the dishwasher."
