Know before you buy
No, these brass forks are not dishwasher safe. To maintain their finish and prevent damage, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately after use.
Brass will naturally develop a patina over time as it reacts to air and food acids, which many find adds to its character. If you prefer a polished look, you can occasionally use a gentle brass cleaner or a soft polishing cloth.
The 5.25-inch small fork is ideal for desserts, appetizers, or tea service. The 8.75-inch large fork is better suited for main courses or serving purposes.
Because they are made from 100% solid brass, they will not rust like iron or steel. However, they are susceptible to oxidation and water spots if left wet, so proper drying is essential.
These forks are sold as individual pieces, allowing you to mix and match sizes or build your collection at your own pace.
