The Vollrath Thornhill 6" four-tine salad fork is the salad course fork in the Thornhill pattern — standard salad fork proportions with four tines in the Thornhill matte-finish, traditional-detailed design. Heavyweight 18% chrome stainless steel. At 6", properly proportioned for American salad fork placement in a full Thornhill place setting alongside the 7-1/4" dinner fork.
Sold by the dozen. Matte finish throughout.
The Thornhill salad fork is the dedicated salad course piece in the Thornhill pattern — shorter than the dinner fork, four tines, and styled with the same matte finish and elegant detailing as the rest of the Thornhill line. At 6", this salad fork is slightly shorter than the common 6-1/2"–6-5/8" salad fork length, a proportion that places it clearly as the salad course fork in a full place setting while maintaining the Thornhill pattern's compact, refined aesthetic.
The length differential between the Thornhill salad fork (6") and dinner fork (7-1/4") is 1-1/4" — clearly distinguishable in a place setting, where guests and servers use the relative lengths to navigate course-appropriate utensil selection. The shorter salad fork sits to the left of the longer dinner fork in the standard American place setting configuration, with the length difference providing the visual cue without requiring guests to count tines or read labels.
Four tines is the standard commercial salad fork configuration — providing versatile tine spacing for the range of salad course applications: mixed green salads where tines need to gather loose leaves, structured salads with more defined components, appetizers with varying textures, and dessert presentations where the salad fork serves double duty as the dessert course piece.
The matte finish on the Thornhill salad fork is consistent with the pattern's matte surface treatment throughout, maintaining finish uniformity in the place setting. The matte surface's fingerprint-concealing properties are particularly practical for a salad course piece handled at the beginning of the meal before the table has been refreshed.
Heavyweight 18% chrome stainless steel. Sold by the dozen.
