Much more Mills Moore

We mentioned some newly-acquired, vintage Mills Moore cutlery in a recent Forthcoming Attractions post. Here are some more images of the set.

This range of cutlery, dating from the 1960s, is one of the items that we’re most often asked about – in terms of current availability or asking to be alerted if we get more in stock.

So here’s that alert! It’s not been listed in the web shop as yet, so first dibs for readers of our mail-outs and blog.

As you can see, it’s a really stylish range of cutlery.

Beautifully made from stainless steel with lovely walnut handles, this vintage Mills Moore cutlery is a mid century modern classic. No wonder it was selected and endorsed by the Design Centre in London!

We have at least six each of all the knives, forks and spoons as shown above – plus a very nice matching corkscrew and bottle opener. Drop us a line if you’re interested!

Are you fond of fondue?

We picked up not one, not two, but three fondue sets at the weekend – it was a fondue frenzy!!

Strictly speaking, one of them is just a fondue pan, but the quality and pattern are so good that we couldn’t resist. It’s enamelled cast iron and produced by Le Creuset.

Next, we have a fabulous design by a fabulous designer – Jens Quistgaard. The pan & warmer was produced by his company Dansk Designs in the 1950s/60s. It comes from the Kobenstyle range and is functional and great looking too.

From cast iron and enamel onto stainless steel – and one of the material’s greatest exponents – namely Lundtofte of Denmark. This set has everything – pan, warmer, stand, forks… even the original box.

A fondue is a great idea for a dinner party with a twist – or delicious addition to an outdoor barbecue or picnic. All available in our web shop now.

We’ve got more Mills Moore!

One of our most frequent customer enquiries is, “Do you have any more of the Mills Moore cutlery?”

People find it here on our blog, our Instagram posts and archived shop listings. Quite often, we have to say, “Sorry, no, not at the moment.” But not today!

We’ve just listed a fabulous set of the 1960s stainless steel Mills Moore cutlery – 6 of everything – 42 pieces in all.

This range definitely appears to be the most sought after – and we also very much like the form of this particular design. We love the walnut handles too, with their warm colour and differences in tone. The quality is excellent and they feel really good in the hand.

It’s been listed today, so if you’re one of those people who’s been keen to get hold of some, now’s your chance!

Blomus tea set

This stainless steel tea set caught our eye at a local flea market last week. What a fabulous modernist shape!

The lady selling it thought it dated from the 1960’s. We could go along with that assumption in terms of design – you could just see it in the departure lounge of 2001: A Space Oddysey!

However, this date was far from certain and would require some checking. It was clearly marked to the base, so detective work was quite straightforward.

As it turned out, it dates from the noughties – and is the limited edition ‘Asia’ tea set produced by Blomus of Germany.

The design and quality is superb – and we love little details like the integral strainer. The set comprises teapot, lidded milk and sugar bowls – and under tray. Form meets function perfectly.

It’s quite quickly become sought after and collectable. It’s just gone into a mid century modern corner of a new retail space that we’ve just acquired… more details to follow on that! It’s priced at £125 the set.
