Åre cutlery pattern
Åre cutlery pattern
Åre is a Norwegian cutlery pattern distinguished by closely spaced lengthwise grooves on its handles. Arven offers spoons, forks, knives and a pie server in the range. The slender, grooved shape differs from floral and scroll-decorated patterns.
Identification
Compare the handle outline, the ends of the grooves and the transition to the blade. Read maker and fineness marks separately. A pattern name alone does not establish who made an individual example or when.
Read fineness marks such as 830S together with the maker's mark. A pattern's history does not date an individual example.
