Know before you buy
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the mirror finish and prevent spotting or corrosion, we recommend hand washing and drying these pieces promptly after use.
The 18/10 rating refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This high-quality alloy provides superior rust resistance and a brighter, more durable luster compared to lower-grade stainless steel.
No, the Forte set is designed as a five-piece place setting for individual use. It does not include serving spoons, forks, or other specialized serving pieces.
The Forte collection is engineered for a comfortable, balanced feel in the hand. While the pieces are durable and heirloom-quality, they are designed to be substantial without feeling overly heavy during use.
While the 18/10 stainless steel is highly durable, the glossy mirror finish can show fine surface scratches over time with regular use. Proper hand washing and storing the pieces separately from other metal items will help maintain the pristine look of the finish.
