Gilded Mussel Cutlery

This beautiful set of mussel cutlery originates from Zeeland, a region in The Netherlands that has a long history and culture for mussels. It was created by a couple who have a passion for food, in particular seafood. 

 

The coil spring mechanism in the cutlery allows it to work exactly like a mussel shell. The mussel cutlery is hand cast in gold and comes, as a pair, in an elegant white box. 

 

It is a distinctive addition to your dinner table and would make a perfect and unusual luxurious gift for any seafood-lover. 

We are quietly confident that you will be delighted with and love your purchase from HARTA, but if you find it unsuitable in any way please do get in touch with us.
