IMPRESSIVE SERVING KNIFE, so-called PRÉSENTOIR
Cf. Georg Laue. Kostbare Bestecke für die Kunstkammern Europas. Munich, 2010. p. 104. Laue places his examples in Königsberg and dates them to around 1580 on the basis of a stylistically similar example from the Mainfränkisches Museum in Würzburg. Furthermore, the use of gold foil under the amber plate is similar to that of the item on offer. This type of magnificent cutlery can be found in numerous renowned museums worldwide, namely the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (inv. no. M.920 & A-1926), the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (there as knife handle inv. no. 18062), the Grünes Gewölbe in Dresden (there as knife handle, inv. no. III 88 ff/1) and the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (inv. no. D207).
