Sleek and shiny!

Alessi is mostly known for all things coffee, but while flipping through my 2004 Gourmet "Cookie Extravaganza" magazine, i saw some really cute flatware by them. After a little research, I found out that this cutlery is hand-produced and silver plated.  Known as "Rundes Modell," it is supposed to reflect "extreme formal elegance."

Fancy stuff huh?  I didn't have any idea that Alessi made all these gorgeous accents and knick knacks!  Also, they have a ridiculously cute "bambino" line as well!
