Cutlery designs for spoons, forks, and knives, each shown in plan and profile views, the handles decorated with interlacing abstract curvilinear forms in Arts and Crafts style. The bowl of the spoon is wide and round, the forks each have three long narrow tines, and the blade of the knife is the same height as the handle with a slightly wider width (visible in plan). To the right of each design are abstract geometric forms. Museum purchase from the Members' Acquisitions Fund of Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum
