Ginkgo's Pineapple flatware pattern was designed
by Siro Toffolon, and is based on the traditional symbol of hospitality
since the 15th and 16th centuries. When seamen on whaling ships
returned home from the South Seas, they would place a pineapple
at their front gate. This would signal welcome to all neighbors
and friends to celebrate their successful return.
The tradition continues today with the Pineapple
motif often carved in doorways and entryways to welcome friends
and neighbors. It has become the “international symbol of
hospitality”.
This is no novelty flatware; it's one of the
heaviest gauge flatware patterns we offer, with an oversized
knife, and slightly larger than standard sizes. Shiny finish.
