Cutlery

Cutlery

A cutlery set refers to a series of utensils designed as a service set, with purchase decisions typically based on various needs, primarily the number of place settings. For instance, a 24-piece set is suitable for six place settings, a 48-piece set for twelve, and so on. Cutlery sets can be purchased in gift packaging, often given as presents for weddings, anniversaries, Christmas, or other events. The packaging options for cutlery sets range from display boxes to printed cartons, and from cardboard chests to wooden cases or pouches.

Stainless steel cutlery has always been synonymous with durability and practicality, which is why there is a wide variety of choices in sets and finishes. Some cases can contain up to 75 pieces or more, including up to 119 pieces, where, in addition to fruit and dessert utensils, there are also fish cutlery included.

Silver Cutlery Sets

Silver cutlery has always been a symbol of refinement and dining culture. Silver cutlery sets are recommended for important occasions, though a table set with silver is something extraordinary and magical. Silver dessert forks are commonly used for cakes during celebrations such as Christmas or Easter, or unique events. Silver cutlery should be stored in special anti-tarnish cloths or cases to prevent oxidation.

Guzzini Cutlery Sets

Guzzini has long been a synonym for modern, quality tableware. Their cutlery sets feature unique colours, varying across different lines and styles such as My Fusion for an oriental chic taste, Grace which sparkles for a chromatically rich table, and Feeling for a colourful dining experience. Guzzini cutlery sets are long-lasting and can be used daily in dishwashers without any issues. These sets naturally carry a youthful, fresh, and fun dimension in their colours and styles.

Table Cutlery

There are many ways to set a table, and the arrangement of cutlery can vary. However, there are etiquette rules that define the precise placement of each piece. The rules are simple: knives are always placed to the right of the plate with the blade facing inward, and spoons are placed on the same side. Forks go to the left of the plate. Dessert and fruit utensils are positioned in front of the plate. The dessert fork or spoon should be placed above the plate, while the fruit cutlery's handle should be oriented to the left for forks and to the right for knives.

Types of Cutlery

Cutlery is made from various materials, with the parts that come into contact with food typically being metal—historically silver, brass, and nickel silver, but nowadays primarily stainless steel. The term 'cutlery' refers to tools used for eating or cooking, intended to avoid direct contact between hands and food.

Cutlery used for eating is referred to as table cutlery, while those used for serving are called serving utensils. The number of cutlery items at a place setting can vary based on the number of courses, different traditions, or foods, and the ways of setting the table can range from simple to elaborate.

Black Cutlery

Black or 'black gold' cutlery features a special finish not achieved through traditional methods like painting or electroplating but through a molecular implantation process using titanium, a result of aerospace research. This product is dishwasher safe, stain-resistant, non-oxidising, and corrosion-resistant. It brings a modern elegance to the table, combining tradition with cutting-edge innovation.

Guzzini Cutlery

Guzzini cutlery is synonymous with durability, colour, modernity, and practicality. The Feeling line offers affordable cutlery in various colours, making tables vibrant and modern.

The line includes sharp steak knives, dessert forks, cheese knives, butter spats, and fruit knives.

Gold-Plated Cutlery

Gold-plated cutlery is created by manually applying 24k gold to the edges, decorations, and engravings of the utensils to highlight their special craftsmanship. This process is performed by hand, and its success and originality depend on the company's experience in working with steel surfaces. Gold plating is a classic finish that enhances the quality and sophistication of the cutlery.
