Carl Pott dedicated his career to studying the ergonomics of eating and using what he learned to design innovative flatware. He began each project with the spoon, and for this reason he jokingly referred to his avocation as “spoonery.” Pott 33 (1975) was one of the last flatware collections designed by Pott, and three decades later it is still relevant to how we live today. To create the five-tined fork, which was an innovation when it was introduced, Pott extended its width and made the shape slightly spooned. These changes made for easier scooping of sauces and vegetables, like peas. The knife has a micro-serrated edge for cutting, and each piece has a fine groove at the end of each handle. “I am far from granting flatware more importance than it deserves,” said Pott. “However, as a daily tool, assuming it is functional and aesthetically pleasing, it is one of the cornerstones of our culture. How can we reach the summit, when the foundation of that which is ours, our home and our tools, is not solid, full of clarity and beauty?” Pott 33 is made of 18/10 stainless steel and each piece is handcrafted by artisans at a company of remarkable pedigree. For more than a century, this company has practiced the highest production standards and techniques, which have been passed down and refined over the decades. The five piece set includes a knife, tablespoon, teaspoon, dinner fork, and salad fork. Made in Germany.
