Antique Pde Ruolz Silver Plate Ice Or Sugar Claw Tongs French Silverplate 5.75"L This gorgeous French silver-plate ice or sugar tongs will make a fabulous addition to your collection. The tongs are marked Pde. Ruolz on the end of the handle along with a Rooster mark to the left side and another illegible mark on the right side of the text mark. There is a variety of information online for the history of Henri Ruolz and his development of a metal plating process but I was not able to find definitive information regarding this particular mark. I did find that Christofle used the Ruolz mark, however I do not know if this is a Christofle set so please do your own due diligence in researching the origin based on the marks if that is of importance to you. The tongs do have wear from age and use including dents, dings, scratches, wear to the plating and more so please read complete details below and review photos closely for condition. Thank you and enjoy! ITEM DETAILS:
