Mitra stor middagsgaffel fra Georg Jensen Moderne design Usædvanlig visitkortskål i blåt opalineglasLength 20 cm. The mitre was designed by Gundorph Albertus, Georg Jensen's brother in law, in 1941. Silver was in short supply during World War II, so the cutlery was made of steel, as Georg Jensen's first item. There have been close to 100 different parts in the production of this cutlery. The handle of the cutlery is shaped like a Catholic bishop's hat, a mitre, hence the name.
