Know before you buy
The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This high-quality alloy provides superior rust resistance and a brilliant, long-lasting luster compared to lower-grade stainless steel.
Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel construction is durable enough for regular dishwasher use. To maintain the intricate baroque detailing and finish over time, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents and drying them promptly.
These forks are categorized as heavyweight, meaning they offer a substantial, balanced feel in the hand. They are designed to feel more significant and premium than standard-weight stamped flatware.
The Michelangelo pattern features a distinct, ornate baroque design that serves as a strong statement piece. While it can be mixed with simpler, modern patterns for an eclectic look, it is most often used as a cohesive set for formal dining.
These are standard salad-sized forks, which are typically smaller and more compact than a traditional dinner fork. They are perfectly proportioned for salads, appetizers, or desserts.
