Rattail 24 piece cutlery set

This classic style of cutlery dates from 1604. "Rat's tail" referred to the way the spoons were originally attached to the handles. Manufacturers were unable to make spoons in one piece in the 1600s, so the base was fixed to the handle with a long spine, which looks like a tail. This design is part of the Viners Elite Concepts Heritage collection.
