From Peri Wolfman and Charles Gold -- authors of the best-selling The Perfect Setting -- comes the book that showcases one of today's favorite collectibles, vintage Forks, Knives & Spoons. Part of the fun in collecting is the search for new and unusual pieces, and Peri and Charley have amassed delicate coin silver tea spoons, bone-handled knives with rusted steel blades, wood-handled forks with decorative rivets, and picnic ware with bright Bakelite handles. They share the history behind the countless unusual serving pieces -- baked-potato forks, bread knives, and olive spoons among them -that date to Victorian times, and they identify the 29 place setting pieces still in manufacture today. The resource section offers advice on the care, cleaning, and storage of silver, steel, Bakelite, bone, and more. There are also names and addresses of some of the best places to shop for old silver and tableware. Charley's photographs capture the matte beauty of old steel, the warm gleam of silver, the glow of bone, and they offer inspiration for table settings. But the book's biggest bonus is the more than 35 recipes that are tasty ideas for putting your old finds to new use. In Forks, Knives & Spoons, Peri Wolfman and Charles Gold have created a book that both collectors and cooks are bound to relish.

"The Museum of Decorative Art in Copenhagen has attempted ... to acquire specimens of modern Danish tableware ... During recent years it has furthermore obtained collection of antique tableware, particularly English, French and Danish ... A suitable occasion has arisen which has provided me with an opportunity of reproducing and describing a few of the many knives, spoons and forks which have been collected so far. If the object of this collection of photographs had been to illustrate the history of tableware, our collection would however, have fallen short. That contained in the National Museum would be particularly indispensable as far as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance centuries are concerned. A number of magnificent royal eating utensils of gold are preserved in Rosenborg Palace, and the Royal Plate Room forms a kind of extension to Rosenborg ... Finally, the Deutsches Klingenmuseum at Solingen possesses one of the world's most comprehensive collections ..."--Preface, p. 5-6

Kives have probably the longest history of any human artefacts and, with forks, are possibly the most used and taken for granted. In this book the hoistory and development of their use as eating implements is traced from the eqarliest times and some hitheto unknown styles used in the Middle Ages are revealed. The art of the cutler and the rise of the cutlers' companies are covered, as are the gradual introduction of the table fork and the evolution of the trio of knife, fork and spoon during the early eighteenth century. The invention of stainless steel leads to the conclusion, with the development of more imaginative styles in the twentieth century and the modern designers of individual cutlery.
