Know before you buy
Each setting includes a dinner knife, a dinner fork, a salad fork, a soup spoon, and a teaspoon. This provides a complete foundation for a single person's place setting.
European sizing typically features slightly larger, more substantial proportions compared to standard American flatware. This gives the pieces a heavier, more formal feel in the hand.
The 18/10 stainless steel is highly durable and rust-resistant, designed to maintain its mirror-polished luster over time. While it is dishwasher safe, we recommend drying the pieces promptly after the cycle to prevent water spots and keep the finish looking its best.
The offset groove and textured raindrop design provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The detailing adds a tactile element that makes the pieces feel secure and balanced while in use.
Yes, this set is fully dishwasher safe. The high-quality 18/10 stainless steel construction is designed to withstand regular machine washing without losing its shine or integrity.
