	George IV cased picnic set, consisting of two small knives with sterling silver blades and ivory handles and two small three-pronged sterling silver forks with ivory handles. In each case the ivory and silver is joined by a ribbed ferrule. The very sharp silver blades of the knives are each fully hallmarked at the base near the ferrule on one side and engraved with a decorative contemporary "T" on the other. The forks are marked with the maker's mark only at the base of the silver stem just above the ferrule. All four pieces slide into two compartments of a rectangular contemporary case with a pull-off lid.
	Maker :- AH
