A polished-nickel condiment server, three small bowls around a central cocktail-pick holder. Olives, nuts, cornichons, and the picks to spear them, all in one object.

The pick holder in the middle is the clever part, garnishes and their tools traveling together, and the brass under the nickel gives it the weight of a real serving piece. You set it out at cocktail hour with the olives and almonds, the picks standing ready in the center.

For the host who runs to the elaborate, the wedding registry, the friend whose cocktail hour is an event.
