What is a group of cutlery called besides a set?

Answer:

It may be called a service as we call a set of china a "service for 12" or the like. Some boxes of cutlery are marked "40 piece service for 8" for example. You would expect that box to contain 8 salad forks, 8 dinner forks, 8 knives, 8 soup spoons and 8 teaspoons.
