It was part of a collection that was designed by the duality of Helen Von Both and Frederico Fabbrini and was part of the La Bomba picnic set that is in the permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The flatware was made to be stackable when more settings are put together for all your picnics. This is a rare set and very discontinued. The design was submitted for a US patent in 1971 and was awarded in 1973. This is the only one we have. ONE PLACE SETTING. The fork is 7.5" W/L x 1.5" D x 0.5" H.
