Viners is a United Kingdom brand of flatware, kitchenware and dinnerware products founded in 1901 in Sheffield, England by Adolphe Viener (also spelled Adolph Weiner when he was knighted by the Crown) and his sons. The company, Viners Ltd. grew to be the biggest cutlery manufacturer in England after World War II. They were silversmiths who initially worked in traditional small workshops with a focus on quality and craftsmanship. The hallmark for Viners Ltd. silver was registered to son Edward Viner: in 1932 it was "E.V" with figures and in 1964, it was "EV" with associated figures. The firm prospered in the 1960s with a modern factory in Sheffield and subsidiaries in Ireland, France and Australia. In mid-2000, Oneida from the United States paid $25 million in cash for Viners. This set is in very good condition. Each of the sterling pieces bears the Vinners sterling silver manufacturer's hallmark in addition to the British sterling silver hallmarks as detailed in the photo above.
