At the Common Table

Explore a fascinating permanent exhibition at the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes in Słupsk, showcasing an extensive array of cutlery and cooking accessories from the 17th to the 21st century. 🏰

Located on the second floor, this exhibition resides in two beautifully renovated halls, with support from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. With over 1,400 exhibits displayed in a chronological and typological order, you'll encounter essential cutlery such as spoons, knives, and forks, alongside specialized utensils for specific dishes like oysters and berries. 🥂

The heart of the exhibition features exquisite cutlery produced between 1875 and 1939 in renowned European factories, predominantly German, Polish, English, and French, as well as select American pieces. Notably, some items are artisanal works from small goldsmith workshops, while others hail from large-scale production facilities.

A highlight of the exhibition includes two remarkable finds from the post-war era in Słupsk, hidden by evacuating residents in 1945. The first consists of almost 300 items of silver cutlery from the noble von Kleist family, proudly marked with their coats of arms. The second set features charming glassware and faience belonging to a middle-class family. Additional artifacts collected over many decades, along with treasures from the pre-war Heimatmuseum, enrich this captivating narrative.
