The Serving Spades are modelled in the King's pattern, which is double struck with the pattern being on both the front and the reverse.  These are unusual, as they are very realistically modelled as spades, the bowls having a very angular form.  Both are in excellent condition and very well marked.  The weight and gauge are quite exceptional.

Length: 9.9 inches, 24.75 cm.

Width of the bowl: 2.15 inches, 5.38 cm.

Weight: 12oz, the pair
