The stainless steel items feature Danish Modern design with sleek, tapered, obelisk-shaped handles. Each piece was considered technically innovative at the time of manufacture. Each item was crafted from a single piece of 18/8 stainless steel, then hand-finished with a brushed surface on the handles. Chrome and Teak offers the set from their "vault" of flatware gathered over a decade. We are pleased to offer this very extensive and diverse set to buyer's who appreciate the unique design and craftsmanship of Obelisk. Each piece of the set is stamped with Herlow's artist "H" cipher. Measurements are of the dinner fork. Included in the set: Serving (1 long two-prong knife, 2 large serving spoons, 1 medium serving spoon, 1 small serving spoon). Forks (8 small two-prong forks, 30 small three-prong forks, 26 3-prong dinner forks). Spoons: (7 tiny expresso spoons, 25 teaspoons, 4 large soup spoons, 5 ice tea spoons, 24 large oval dinner spoons). Knives (21 dinner knives, 10 butter knives). See less
