They look old, possibly european...

You said they weigh 1.5 oz, is that with the glass or crystal handles?

Or did you remove the handles first before weighing?

What's the history story?

These are old...
I cannot tell by the pics if they are glass or rock crystal...
Rock crystal and Gilt would be my guess...
Similar to this...

wow, thanks for your responses. A friend who knows I'm into metal detecting and collecting came across these when he was bidding on a storage locker. He gave them to me as a gift but didn't know the item's history. I had guessed the handles were glass because it is so smooth and looks like something that might have been blown as opposed to the 'cut' look that I'm used to seeing on crystal. The weight was for the whole piece. (including glass or crystal handle) :icon_thumleft:

I would love to hear your thoughts on how old these are, where they might have been made, their style

They're all a little over 7" in length, weigh around 1.5 oz each and have very nice details

the only markings I can find is a (13) stamped on the knife's blade

thanks!!!

This appears to be a condiment set possibly from the victorian era. Pickle fork, relish spoon, and a cheese knife.
