This is a very fine and highly collectable set of English Mid-Century Cutlery. It dates to the early 1960s and was made by Mills Moore, Sheffield.
It is in fabulous condition and has hardly ever been used. All the pieces are present, and nice and clean. They are of the highest quality and always attract good prices. Especially when in the presentation case.
The presentation case is in lovely condition too; nice and clean. It even has a little leaflet inside the box telling you how to clean the cutlery and care for it.
The case contains place settings for six people. Each person would have a total of eight pieces of cutlery. So that totals up to 48 general dining pieces.
The contents of the cutlery presentation box are as follows: In the lid, there are large table knives and six smaller ones. In the base section we have - in the sides areas: six small butter knives, and six small forks each with four prongs. Along the center of the base is: two larger serving spoon, six three-prong forks - of shorter length, six three-prong forks of longer length, six soup spoons, six dessert spoons. At the top of the base section are the carving knife, steel, and carving fork.
This cutlery set was considered a design classic in its time. It was selected for a "Design Centre, London" award in the 1960s. I have taken lots of images of the set, box and individual pieces for your inspection. Everything is in good condition. The only issue is a couple of light marks on the blade of the carving knife, but everything else is without issue.
