Pott 33

This novelty was celebrated in the trade as a sensational innovation. In this design Carl Pott was concerned to produce a practical widening of the fork shank. This facilitates use for sauces and vegetables (peas don't fall off so easily). Food lies a

ltogether better in this fork. The number of prongs had to be increased so that it wasn't necessary to clumsily widen the individual prongs, or to make the gaps between them so wide as to be counter productive. The clean lines of this cutlery design a

re particularly enhanced by the fine horizontal slit at the end of the handles: the icing on the cake - the small narrow stroke at the end of the handle which in no way disturbs the smooth, clear, geometric form. Modell 33 is one of Carl Pott's great

successes, an enduring favourite, an evergreen, that can boast numerous awards. It has been incorporated into the collections of all the Industrial Art Museums in Germany.
