A simple utilitarian cheese platter gets a slight twist - the granite base has small silver spokes running around the plate like that of a ship's wheel. A tiny vase holds six picks for the cheese, which also complete the form of the wheel. The picks too look like part of an instrument box, however the ends have semi-precious stones - peridot, garnet and blue topaz, inlaid on them, which sparkle and throw light when the plate swivels around the base.
This is a hallmarked 92.5% purity silverware made in India.
