These are stylish THREE LARGE stainless steel serving spoons. They date to the 1960s. The serving spoons are a little harder to find and were intended for serving vegetables or other foods from ceramic serving dishes.
They were made by Gerald Benney for Viners and the design is called Studio.
There are THREE in total on offer here - and are listed at a bargain price - other pairs that I had in stock were quickly snapped up at £20 for the pair!
Each serving spoon is 21 cm in total length. The bowl of each server is just under 6 cm in width and the height of the bowl section is 6.5 cm
These are genuine vintage examples, as annotated on the back of each piece of cutlery: VINERS OF SHEFFIELD ENGLAND 18/8 STAINLESS STEEL.
All in excellent vintage condition with no issues.
The designer Adrian Gerald Sallis Benney (1930 - 2008) was a celebrated British goldsmith and silversmith. He was born in Hull, Yorkshire and served as the Professor of Silversmithing and Jewellery at the Royal College of Art from 1974 - 1983. He was made a CBE in 1995. During a career spanning more than 50 years, he was the first British craftsman to hold four Royal Warrants simultaneously. His work has had a major impact on the survival of domestic silver in Britain.
In his early years, Benney was influenced by the purity and minimalism of Scandinavian design. From 1957 to 1969 he designed stainless steel cutlery for Viners. His most popular design was "Studio" and the design remains popular to this day.
Certainly one of Britain's most interesting 20th-century designers.
