The Anonymous Widower

Made 1960, Still Going Strong

My everyday cutlery is Sheba by Butler of Sheffield. It was time for a changeround of the pieces, so I took the chance of photographing most of it.

My Sheba Cutlery

There are a dozen or so other pieces, but they were in the dishwasher.  For probably the several hundredth time for some of the knives.

This cutlery is really a good example of what design can do for something quite humble, like cutlery. This cutlery wasn’t designed to be thrown away, but to last  a lifetime or perhaps as in my case outlast a marriage.
