Vintage Italian 24kt Gold Plated Silent Butler Crumb Catcher with Wood Handle

Exquisite 24kt gold plating over a sturdy metal base with a warm, polished finish. Features a classic rectangular silhouette with a decorative thumb-lift for easy one-handed operation of the hinged lid. Elegant, ergonomically shaped solid wood handle. This item is in good vintage condition. As with any authentic vintage piece, it may show minor surface scratches or a light patina that adds to its historical character and charm. Expertly crafted in Italy, often bearing the "MP" maker's mark and horse logo on the underside. A "Silent Butler" is perfect for table service, but its lidded design also makes it ideal as a vintage-style ash collector or a trinket box for your vanity. Measurements are approximate.
