Description
"Gourmet Settings (formerly Trupco) commissioned Helen Kerr to create a collection of flatware for a market accustomed to knock-offs. Ellipse is one of the most popular patterns with production runs reaching 10,000 units per line. The designs emphasize contemporary life style. All three flatware patterns feature a sword-like blade."
