Contemporary Wrought Iron Long Handled Spatula Tulip Shaped Blade By David Court
Description: A beautiful contemporary handmade long handled spatula. The piece is made of wrought iron with a part tubular and part flat long handle. The tubular part of the handle is rivetted to a tulip shaped blade with what looks like brass rivets. The opposite end of the handle is flattened and is decorated on the top side with a diamond and dots pattern and ends in a wrapped hook hanger. The back of the flattened portion of the handle is stamped with the name of the maker "DAVID A. CPOURT". The spatula is in very good condition but shows rust signs of the blade, which can be seen in the photos, and some minor rust signs on the handle. A well made and beautiful kitchen tool, which would make a great addition to any collection. Please carefully review photos as they are part and parcel of our description.
