International Silver Beaded Flatware - Stainless Steel

This item is a piece of contemporary stainless steel flatware from International Silver. The handle features a classic beaded border, which consists of small, raised spheres tightly packed along the outer edges, a design often associated with traditional 'Perles' or 'Beaded' patterns. The construction is solid stainless steel with a high-polish chrome-like finish. The back of the handle contains a clear set of stamped markings within a recessed rectangular cartouche, reading: '© INTERNATIONAL ® STAINLESS CHINA'. The presence of the 'China' manufacturing stamp indicates a modern mass-produced period, likely from the late 20th century to the present day. Structurally, the piece appears in good used condition; there are no signs of significant bending or deep pitting, though fine surface scratches (scuffs/swirls) from regular use and cleaning are visible upon close inspection. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial-grade retail flatware, utilizing stamped metal molds rather than hand-forged techniques. The piece displays a reflective patina characteristic of persistent stainless alloys and possesses a balanced weight consistent with everyday dining utensils.
