Vintage International Silver Heartland 12 Pc Flatware Set Japan Folk Art Farm

beautiful 12-piece vintage flatware set in the highly collectible Heartland pattern by International Silver. This set stands out because every piece is stamped STAINLESS STEEL JAPAN, indicating the earlier, premium production run of this nostalgic 1980s country folk-art line. Important Size Note for Buyers: Please review the photos containing the measuring stick carefully. The spoons in this specific set are Teaspoons (small everyday spoons, not large oval soup spoons). The forks are Salad Forks (smaller, versatile lunch/dessert size forks, not oversized dinner forks). What is Included in This 12-Piece Listing: - 4 Dinner Knives: Measure approximately 9 ¼ inches long. Features the standard straight blade with a smooth, glossy cream handle. - 4 Salad/Dessert Forks: Measure approximately 6 ¾ inches long. Smaller than standard heavy dinner forks. - 4 Teaspoons: Measure approximately 6 ½ inches long. Perfect smaller size for everyday use, tea, or desserts. Each cream-colored handle features the complete, iconic year-round Heartland folk-art pattern sequence. Moving from top to bottom, the graphic beautifully details a red farmhouse bird, a swimming goose/fowl, a classic red-and-white country cow, a farm woman milkmaid carrying buckets, a blue country farmhouse, and a farmer holding a pitchfork. All 12 pieces are clean, structurally sound, and show bright, clear graphics with only minor signs of vintage use. Stamped Japan on the stainless necks.
