This set of gold-plated appetizer forks by Adam & Eve (Tachikichi Inc., Kyoto, Japan) reflects the brand’s signature balance of tradition and contemporary tableware design. Tachikichi founded in 1752 (mid-Edo period) in Kyoto, it is one of Japan’s most respected producers and retailers of ceramics and tableware. With over 260 years of history, the brand became known for blending traditional Kyoto aesthetics with modern functional design, making their pieces popular both in Japan and abroad.
Crafted from durable stainless steel and finished in a radiant 24K gold plating, each fork features a distinctive elongated, flat handle that gives the set its sculptural and modern character. The minimalist geometry is both visually striking and highly functional, offering a comfortable grip while elevating any table presentation.
Designed for serving hors d’oeuvres, sweets, or small bites, these forks are perfect for entertaining—whether for a formal gathering, tea time, or an intimate aperitif setting. Their clean lines and warm gold tone pair beautifully with both traditional Japanese tableware and modern dining aesthetics.
Presented in their original box and individually wrapped, this set remains in excellent vintage condition, showing careful preservation over time. A fine example of Tachikichi’s legacy—where Kyoto craftsmanship meets contemporary form—this set makes a sophisticated addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for lovers of Japanese design.
