Oneida Alveston Cutlery - Single Dinner Knives This is a brand new and unused DINNER KNIFE from one of the most coveted ranges of cutlery ever, 'Alveston', produced by Oneida as part of their Lifestyle Range. Beautifully crafted from 18/10 Stainless Steel with a brushed finish, it is dishwasher safe and comes with a manufacturers 50 year guarantee. Perfect if you want to increase the size of your Alveston set, would like to keep a few spares, or if the dishwasher goblin has struck again and you need a few replacements! Alveston forks, knives and spoons all available in our Ebay shop - click here This listing is for one individual item - any other items which may be shown in the photos are for illustration only! I have other individual pieces available - click here and select the 'for the home' category in my Ebay shop. Please be aware that these are made by Oneida, and are from the latest release of the Old Hall originals (see below for history!), and there are slight differences between the old and the new (most noticeably the knives are now solid, whereas previously hollow). Postage charges kept at minimum and, as always, will be combined to reflect actual cost. For full details of our Terms & Conditions, and payment/post info, please see out 'About Me' page The history of this range: This design was originally the work of Robert Radman Welch (1929-2000). Appointed in 1955 as design consultant for small family firm J & J Wiggin of Bloxwich, the only serious British manufacturer of stainless steel tableware at the time, he created the 'Alveston' range in 1962 - named after his home town in Warwickshire - which was marketed under the brand name 'Old Hall'. It's success was legendary, and the range became a design icon of the 60's. Welch continued to win international respect in the form of a number of highly coveted design awards, as well as being 'Royal Designer for Industry' in 1965 and receiving an MBE in 1979. Much of his work, including the Alveston range, continues to be given pride of place in some of the most prestigious museums in the world including the Victoria & Albert (London) and the Museum of Modern Art (New York). Welch continued to design for the Old Hall firm until its closure in 1984 whilst also working on a number of other famous projects in both stainless steel and silverware with the very best of international manufacturers. Oneida, who are in themselves a highly respected manufacturer of tablewares, bought the closing Old Hall firm, and have reproduced limited numbers of this iconic range, which is now becoming more and more difficult to find as production has once again ceased. You are therefore not just buying a knife, but a piece of British design history! If you're a fan of Old Hall, or would like to find out more about the highly collectable brand, please take a look at www.oldhallclub.co.uk
