Rare set of six Edwardian silver asparagus servers or holders of tapering shaped rectangular form and gentle scalloped sides. This style would have been popular at the end of the 18th century and is sometimes found in ceramic, but we've never seen a silver set before.
Britain's asparagus season kicks off on April 23rd - St George's Day - and given our penchant for eating fruits and vegetables in season, it is not uncommon to eat British asparagus every single day across a four-to-six-week period. It can grow up to 100mm in one day, can cure hangovers and improve your libido! King Louis XIV, Thomas Jefferson and Queen Victoria were all ardent fans of the vegetable.
