This graceful flatware design from the 1960s is one of the classics of the Pott collection. The hint of a triangle in the spoon and fork relate beautifully to the tapering handles. Ergonomically inspired is the slight swelling of the knife handle just before the blade – exactly at the point where the pressure of the finger is strongest.

With this 1935 pattern, Carl Pott established the Pott-style. It fully exemplifies the purist design principles set forth by the Werkbund and Bauhaus movements. It is totally devoid of the usual, elaborate decorations, prevalent at the time. Almost unsellable in Germany, it won the highest award at the 1937 Paris World Expo. This was the breakthrough for Carl Pott, whose designs continue to influence the development of the international flatware world.

When first introduced in 1952, this pattern was considered unsellable. It has since become an “ever-green” and to this day continues to be a favorite. Key to its popularity is precisely that which was considered revolutionary at its inception and is now regarded as minimal and ergonomically correct. For instance, the short knife blade and the long handle, ensure that the fingers never come in contact with the blade.

Carl Pott got the idea for this design while sitting under a chestnut tree and watching a leaf fall. The organic shape became the inspiration for the spoon, and the other flatware pieces were derived from it. The double-edged knife has less to do with nature and more with actual usage. The serration on the backside of the knife is ideal for carving into a piece of meat, while the other side is perfect for actual slicing. As the flatware of the 1972 Munich Olympics, the design became world famous.

Extreme restraint is the hallmark of this pattern. When compared to the designs with much ornate and decorative, characteristic of the 1950s, it appears almost puritanical. “It is meant to be a very conservative and conventional pattern” according to the description by Carl Pott. Due to the understated combination of design elements, this series continues to be timeless and consistently wins new followers.

A true 68er. This design by architect Hans Schwippert totally breaks away from any preconceived requisites regarding the shape and composition of flatware. The series consists of merely five multifunctional utensils that because of their innate nature do not require additional pieces. This atypical set with the dagger-shaped knife and the ingenious spoon-fork will always be a conversation piece at any table.

This pattern is among the most delicate designs within the Pott program. Key characteristic is the thumb shaped indentation at the end of the handles. In the meantime fits to bigger table covers a dessert set is included. The grace and apparent lightness of each piece makes it a favorite for those with smaller hands.

One of the last designs by Carl Pott, continues to be one of the most successful in the Pott flatware program. At the time of its introduction, in 1975, the five-tined fork was a total innovation. Extending the width of the fork allowed for an easier scooping of sauces and vegetables, such as peas. The fine grooves at the end of the handles give this massive flatware a special allure.

Also, a design from Carl Pott’s later years, this pattern distinguishes itself through its hollow handles. They soften the sternness of the design and enhance the reflection of light. The five-tined fork is another typical characteristic with which Carl Pott had a great deal of success during this creative period.

Bold and masculine is the feel of this flatware design, rooted on a stern geometric foundation. Originally designed by Carl Pott at the request of the people of Cologne who gifted it as the official city cutlery. Like no other Pott flatware, it is designed in formal Bauhaus tradition. Fitting its strong sense of presence, the fork has five tines. Particularly striking is the sweep of the broad, heavy handles.

Even a flatware pattern with corners and edges can have some flourish, as shown by this latter Carl Pott design. Part of the fascination lies in the beveled cut of the handle edges that creates a light effect that reflects the total artistry of the grinders and polishers. The flourish of the fork and spoon lies in the light upswing that underlines the elegance of the design.

A flatware piece is held by thumb, index and middle finger. The triangular profile of this flatware pattern is ideal for this holding configuration. This design concept is carried forth in the upper section of each utensil in an aesthetically pleasing manner, imbuing each piece with a singular elegance. The delicate lines of this design demand that it be exclusively produced in sterling silver.

This flatware set stems from a design line developed in 1992 by Hannspeter Pott with the designer Ralph Krämer. Due to the popularity of the line, additional pieces were added. The perfect blend of elegance and ergonomics. The gracious surfaces indulge the eye, while the massive, slightly curved handles are a pleasure to hold.

Tall and slender is the best way to describe this Ralph Krämer design whose most striking feature is the saber-like knife blade. The trend in modern plates is to make them larger, therefore this extra long flatware will hold its own, even on a 12" plate. Those who prefer standard sizes can always choose the dessert set.

Coinciding with the birth of the Federal Republic, this formal, restrained, pattern was introduced as the first Pott sterling silver flatware of the post-war era. It was received to great acclaim and was also produced in a silver plated version. Due to its simple elegance, it rapidly became a classic whose popularity remains unchallenged. Since 1998, it is also being produced in stainless steel.

Since the 1950s, the “Chancellor Flatware” is one of the most popular patterns in the Pott program. During the Ludwig Erhard era, the Chancellery and almost all German embassies were outfitted with the sterling silver version. Many intelligent details optimize the handling of this flatware. For instance, the knife handle has a noticeable curvature – at the point closest to the blade where the finger can exert the most pressure.

Designed by the Art Nouveau artist Josef Hoffmann, the extravagance of this design remains unchallenged in the flatware world. The wave like outline of the knife, the kidney shaped spoon, the tapered handles that end in a delicate ball, are more reminiscent of a piece of sculpture than a utensil. This design places extreme demands on the production process; this is justified by the passion and enthusiasm that this set generates in its devotees.

The Swiss goldsmith Alexander Schaffner, created a geometrically clear, yet eccentric design classic that remains as fresh today as it was in the 1960s. The silhouette of each piece reflects a singular elegance. Particularly striking is the roundness of the relatively short knife blade. In the sterling version, the knife handle profile tapers downward.

This pleasing flatware for little hands is the right introduction to one of our most valued cultural experiences. Children learn to eat, just like the adults, with a fully functional flatware set. The knife is sharp, the fork pierces, and with the right size spoon, they rapidly learn not to slurp or dribble. When they grow up, they can continue using the set, as a butter knife, dessert fork or cereal spoon.

The Bonito child set is available in 18/10 stainless steel and in silver plated.
