The silver-plated dessert knife in the América pattern can be paired with a dessert spoon and fork to be used with desserts, salads or starters. Following World War I, America became synonymous with modernity and the world fell in love with its music, literature, art, lifestyle and architecture. To commemorate the across-the-pond admiration, Christofle named this 1933-launched Art Deco pattern of angular corners, beveled edges and masculine lines after the country.
