The Sheffield firm of Walker & Hall Ltd. have introduced a new stainless steel cutlery set which has been christened "April" because of the small motifs of Spring flowers on the handles of the spoons and forks: a tiny narcissus, snowdrop, tulip or hyacinth.

A six piece place setting costs £2 12s. 6d. retail.
