Honestly, I can't tell how anyone would fall in love with them from this picture, as it gives no details. They look fairly generic to me. Hmm...maybe you could tell us what design you are looking for and someone can recommend something close? I'm gathering you want a simple, modern design, right?

I'm guessing vintage: my parents had the same ones when I was a kid in the 60s.

I would suggest checking out crate and barrel, they are not cheap but they do have a ton of flatware sets. some look similar.

i was also thinking crate and barrel. we have it at our office and looks just like it.

Try "Dry Line Five-Piece Place Setting
Achille Castiglioni, 1982 " at the MOMA Design Store. From what I can tell they are close.

I have that flatware set. It is from Crate & Barrel.

Looks like something generic I picked up from a Japanese Department Store 20 years ago....

I'd caution on C&B flatware, we registered for a whole set when we got married. Only to learn later that "hand washing recommended" is a kind way of saying "your flatware will come out looking rusty and like nothing you'd ever want to give to a guest if you put it in the dishwasher." We spent so much money on the set so I don't want to just ditch them, but it's really tiresome to handwash them when there's a perfectly good dishwasher right underneath the counter. (Mission flatware was the style we'd selected. It's discontinued now, but again, I'd be careful!)

Looks like the flatware i just bought recently.

I'm very happy with them

I have C&B flatware purchased over 10 yrs ago. Looks perfectly fine and I put it in the dishwasher all the time.

I know exactly what they are. With out a doubt they are Astro Stainless Steel by Stanley Roberts. We have the exact same ones, the raised handles, the slightly longer space on the prongs of the small fork. Here is a link to a page of replacement utensils. http://www.replacements.com/webquote/SRBAST.htm?s1=bzr&1482830& Check out the salad fork. We bought some at a vintage store and then when I was looking for more I came across this site to buy individual items which was crazy expensive, then found almost a complete set on ebay.

Yes, I have them too! I just have some odds and ends from a partial thrift shop set I bought about 20 years ago. They say Stainless Japan Astro on the back, maybe the same ones bepsf got in Japan?

Just saw this--thanks to all. I like the patina on this set--it doesn't look super shiny but nice and weathered. Though some of the other suggestions are nice too.

I own that Stanley Roberts Astro set. Actually, I own enough pieces to make two sets. I inherited it from my grandmother who bought it in the 60's. Looks to be the same as the picture. It's probably one of my favorite things I own.
