Christofle Spatours Cake Fork

The fork features a slightly widened, reinforced edge specifically designed to cut through delicate pastries, cakes, and pies directly on the plate. It provides enough leverage to slice through layers without needing a separate knife.

While the silver-plated finish and Louis XV aesthetic are elegant enough for formal dining, the Spatours collection is durable enough for regular use. Keep in mind that silver-plated items require gentle hand washing to maintain their luster over time.

The Louis XV style, which dates back to the 18th century, is characterized by generous curves, decorative heels, and a slender rounded ridge. Christofle incorporated these historical elements into the Spatours pattern in 1862 to evoke a sense of heritage and refined craftsmanship.

To preserve the reflective finish, hand wash the fork with a mild detergent and a soft sponge, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, and store it in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.

At 16 cm (6.3 inches), this fork is slightly longer than a standard cocktail fork but perfectly sized for dessert service. Its weight of 100 grams provides a substantial, balanced feel in the hand that is typical of high-quality silver-plated flatware.
