Vinners 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, Vinners 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 Vinners Ltd. silver was registered to son Edward Vinner: 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 Vinners.
