Although originally designed for serving fish, this piece is perfect for repurposing daily for dessert! Its chiselled and slightly bevelled blade is ideal for cutting and serving a tart, a moist cake, a quiche, or even a brioche with style. We eat cake far more often than we serve fish, so why not enjoy using such a beautiful object every day? It's Parisian chic making an appearance at tea time or dessert. 📏 Dimensions Total length: approx. 26 cm Blade length: approx. 14 cm
