Pott "81 Flatware stainless steel"
The Pott 81 collection, designed around 1945 by Dr. Hermann Gretsch, is a classic example of mid-20th-century flatware design, produced by C. Hugo Pott GmbH & Co. KG in Solingen, Germany. Solingen has a long-standing reputation for high-quality cutlery, and this collection continues that legacy by blending functionality with minimalist elegance.
The 81 collection is crafted from durable 18/10 stainless steel, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for everyday use. The flatware has a brushed matte finish, adding a subtle, refined aesthetic to the dining table while ensuring long-lasting appeal. Each piece is carefully balanced, providing a comfortable grip and smooth handling during meals.
A distinctive feature of the 81 design is its focus on clean, simple lines, which align with the functionalist principles of the era. The collection includes various items such as table forks, knives, and spoons, along with specialty pieces like dessert spoons and salad forks, allowing users to create tailored table settings. The hollow-handled knives in this series ensure a balanced feel while providing effective cutting performance.
