Hallo,
I acquired this handle a few years ago from my grandpa.
I do not know wheather it comes from his family or my grandma bought it (she was a collector of antiquities). If so, it must have been bought not later than 1960, when she retired.
I am not shure about its use. Is it really the handle of a cutting object?
It is made of ivory, this is the only think I am shure of, I have tested it and verified with an expert.
Can someone help me to identify this object?
I'd be very happy to return the favour: virtual beer on the net or real beer if you happen to come and visit Venice.
