Description

Ginkgo Pineapple 4 pc Stainless Steel Hostess Serving Set was designed by Siro Tofolon. The Pineapple has been the 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 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.
