Length and width 25.7 x 16 cm Height 3.4 cm ----------------------- The teak design trend in the 1950s not only occurred in furniture, but was also reflected in the material of tableware. Stainless Steel tableware has become popular after World War II (after the 1940s), and Nordic tableware that combines teak with Stainless Steel probably appeared in the 1950s to 1970s when teak was imported to Northern Europe. In the 1970s and 1980s, dishwashers became an essential kitchen utensil in Nordic homes. Therefore, Stainless Steel wooden handle tableware that was not suitable for dishwashers caused inconvenience and was gradually replaced by higher-quality heat-resistant plastics, Stainless Steel, ceramics, glass, etc. ... ..Replaced by materials that are more resistant to high temperatures, detergents, and frequent washouts. Despite this, not only are most of these wooden-handled tableware made locally in Northern Europe, they retain the simple and slim shape that was popular at the time, and the materials used are also more authentic than modern products. (When you pick it up, you can feel how thick and solid the materials are!!!) By collecting objects and checking their background stories, we often feel that the popularity of these design styles and material combinations is related to the history of Nordic crafts, materials, technology, and the evolution of life and culture. If you have more background knowledge about these small objects, you will not expect that old objects can 100% serve today's modern life; you will have a more gentle way of using them and a tolerant imagination.
