Vintage and rare. Produced for the first-class service on a relatively small airline for a very brief period of time. Alitalia Linea 72 three-piece flatware set - knife, fork, and teaspoon designed by the late Joe Colombo. THIS IS FULL SIZE FLATWARE, not your typicaldiminutivescaled down airline flatware. Dinner knife is 7.5\" in length and blade is 1.25\" at widest point., dinner fork is 7.125\" in length and teaspoon is 5.875\" long. This first-class flatware pattern went into service with Alitalia in the early 1970\'s. It has been stored 45 years since retirement from airline service and unused since. Very good used condition with normal storage and stacking wear. Rare and HTF like most items designed by Joe Colombo in his relatively short lifeand design career. A masterpiece of modern Italian design Linea 72 pattern is in the European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I have multiple sets available if you are looking to put together a service. (23 sets sold)
