Georg Jenson Cutlery Set Arne Jacobsen SAS For Royal Hotel Copenhagen, 38 Pieces
Georg Jenson Cutlery Set Arne Jacobsen SAS For Royal Hotel Copenhagen, 38 Pieces. A set of cutlery that I acquired probably 25 years ago but haven't used for roughly 18 years. Please be aware that some of the knives have black spot pitting on them (and this applies to a couple of spoons, but not so bad).
The final three photos show examples of the pitting. They should be considered a set for using rather than a set for admiring.
There was probably a time when we were very precious about this set but life is too short to be putting them back in their original plastic sleeves every time they got used. We did use them as our daily cutlery.
We built up this set after staying at the achingly-cool SAS Hotel in Copenhagen one cold February because we loved the design, but I just don't use it any longer. I think we bought most of it from Skandium in London, but we also bought some of the smaller spoons direct from Denmark and these were quite hard to find.
For care, I would recommend not putting these in a dishwasher, and using Duraglit wadding from time to time to polish them. When we ate at the Alberto K restaurant on the top floor of the SAS hotel they used these as soup spoons, so I've always thought of them as soup spoons rather than dinner spoons, and this is what they are described as elsewhere.
The true soup spoons from the range are hopelessly impractical, being made in left and right-hand versions, so even the home of this cutlery doesn't use the true soup spoons! _gsrx_vers_1634 GS 9.6 (1634).
