Description
One of a set of six corn-on-the-cob dishes each with a pair of forks. The dishes have open ends where the forks can sit and the rear is moulded to resemble the husks that surround the corn in the field. The shape of the dish is tapers towards one end to follow the shape of the cob, and has two feet at the wider end and one at the thinner end. The forks have two metal prongs of different lengths and the handles are moulded to look like cobs of sweetcorn half covered in the husk.
