Artaste Rain Antique Copper Finished Flatware 36 Piece Set

artaste-56419-rain-antique-copperBoy, copper sure is becoming the thing in cutlery these days. The Artaste 56419 Rain 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware is antique copper finished and has a great look. This 36 piece set is a service for 12 with just a dinner knife, dinner fork, and teaspoon.

This flatware is made from 18/10 stainless steel and the knife is 420 steel for a sharp edge. They claim that the antique copper plated finish is dishwasher safe as long as you use no harsh detergents. Considering it is copper plate, I’d be safer than sorry and handwash.

Extraterrestrials Leave a Giant Spoon on Mars!

ufo-hunters-think-theyve-found-a-giant-spoon-on-marsWow, that’s a clickbait title. But still, it’s an interesting photo and shows how if you are looking for cutlery then you can find it anywhere. Now if it was a fork or even spork that would be interesting interstellar flatware. Maybe this is where the missing spoons have been going?

To quote the article from the “Sun”:

ALIEN hunters have identified a “giant spoon” on Mars and claimed it’s evidence extraterrestrials once lived on the surface of the Red Planet.

The cutlery was spotted in images snapped by NASA’s Mars Rovers, prompting suggestions it was “probably left over from a lost civilisation”.

Um, I don’t think so. But still interesting.

BUG BUG – Cutlery for eating Insects

insect-cutleryI love cutlery designs from the art world, how can we forget even Salvador Dali got into it.

Wataru Kobayashi is a Japanese designer that has designed a flatware set for entomophagy (that means eating bugs).

This set includes a spatula for bug mushing, a fork, chopsticks and a set of pincers used for eating the larger crunchier and more dangerous bugs. And some nice ceramic plates as well. There is no spoon.

Now be warned that this is a concept art piece only but has a great statement about the current track we are headed on when it comes to world food:

“BUGBUG, the picnic cutlery set for eating insects” are for promoting people eat insects as a meal for a large-scale food crisis predicted in forthcoming 2050.

BUGBUG is expected to have the different approach to head off the crisis. The product is meaningful to be joyful for eating insects and stretch food culture.’
