Rattail flatware cutlery set

Dating back to the 1600’s, Rattail is the oldest English cutlery pattern.

It gets its name from the sleek ‘tail’ down the back of the spoon where two halves would have been soldered together in previous centuries.

Although Rattail is one of the oldest patterns of cutlery in existence, the design is simple and elegant and works wonderfully as part of a modern or traditional table setting. 

N.B. Canteen images show the Baguette pattern and are for canteen reference only.
