Austria
1979

Culinar series flatware set of stainless steel designed by Carl Aubock III (1924-1993) and manufactured by Collini, Austria in 1979. A five piece service for eight composed of the following: 8 dinner forks, 8 dessert forks, 8 soup spoons, 8 teaspoons, and 8 knives. With one cheese knife included, for a total of 41 pieces. With a very short production run of only a year or two, this striking modern flatware design is rare to the market, especially in as complete a set as this.
