Know before you buy
The set provides service for eight people, which includes a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon, and teaspoon for each setting. It also includes five essential serving pieces to complete your table arrangement.
Yes, 18/10 stainless steel is considered the gold standard for flatware. It contains 18% chromium for rust resistance and 10% nickel for a high-luster finish and added durability, ensuring the pieces maintain their shine over time.
Yes, the entire set is dishwasher safe. For the best results and to maintain the finish, we recommend rinsing off acidic foods before placing them in the dishwasher and avoiding harsh detergents.
While the shell detail is textured, it is designed to be smooth enough that it does not trap food particles easily. Regular dishwasher cycles are typically sufficient to keep the detailing clean and polished.
The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal household use. If you encounter issues with rust or structural integrity, you can contact Mikasa for support.
