Dansk teak-handled stainless steel flatware in the Fjord pattern, designed by Jens Quistgaard in 1954. A mid-century classic, this pattern is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Early production made in Germany, 1960s.

The set comprises:

8 dinner knives

8 steak knives

8 dinner forks

8 salad/luncheon forks

8 tablespoons

8 teaspoons

8 iced tea spoons

There are 56 pieces total. All pieces are marked Dansk Designs Germany, some with the four ducks mark.

Overall condition is very good. Some very minor wear to the stainless steel, with some minor scuffing to the knife blades and a couple tiny nicks to the edge of a few pieces. A couple tiny rust spots on the stainless. Natural variation in the color and figure of the teak handles. All plugs are present, with more wear to the plugs on the dinner forks and teaspoons. There is no splitting or losses to the teak, and the joins are tight and secure. If you would like additional images or info, please let me know--I've handled a lot of Dansk and I am very picky about condition!

This flatware is NOT safe for use in dishwashers. I recommend rubbing the wood handles with a food-safe oil once or twice a year to keep them in top form.
