Artaste Rain 18/10 Stainless Steel (Silver (Set of 12), Salad Fork (7-Inch))

I love these spoons! They are heavy, smooth, brightly polished, neutral looking, were a good price (I paid about $20 for 12) and best of all they are TEASPOON SIZED! They may be a tiny bit larger than vintage teaspoons, but these are not the ridiculous wide tablespoons everyone seems to try to pass off now as “dinner spoons”. I have had a hard time finding these, even looked for long demitasse spoons hoping they’d work. Anyway I bought a 12 pack to replace the teaspoons that my children like to vanish, and the quality is so nice I’m buying a 12 pack of the dinner forks and butter knives to have matching basics when family visits. The stamp on the back says “Artiste 18/10 China”.

I have never had a nice set of silverware. My spoons were ordered from a military supply catalog years ago and have neither a brand name or note on them as to material content. Any replacements I bought from a popular cheapie store for 50 cents each or maybe one dollar. I've attached photos of the spoons I've had for 20 years, in the middle. They're fine. My latest replacement spoon is on the right. A bit longer than my old spoons. The new spoon is on the LEFT. A bit longer than my old spoons, a bit shorter than replacements, and the "spoon" part is bigger than both, which I really like. Love the weight of these, and the shine. I wanted 18/10 as I read these were sturdier than 18/0 or 18/8, and they certainly are. A really great price on this set of twelve, as well!

Perfect replacement spoons (although not matching) for a 40-year-old set. One of these days we'll buy a full set of matching dinnerware, but in the meantime you gotta eat. I would have liked to find a nice-looking set with a wider neck, but while this one looks very, very thin, it's strong enough you don't worry about it bending. Well made, shiny & pretty, at a great price point.

I own a set of the Mikasa Hamilton flatware which only come with knives, dinner forks and teaspoons.I wanted dessert forks of a similar design so I ordered these.They match perfectly and are a very comfortable size.* * * Disclaimer - - - I ordered these as a "like new, open box" item.The box arrived torn and taped back together. It was extremely sturdy cardboard, but it just looked like one end had been torn and wouldn't stay closed on its own.Each fork was in a plastic sheath and all the forks were rubber-banded together so they didn't rattle around in the box.I was definitely surprised to find that the tines of each and every one of these forks was bent. It was the same tine bent exactly the same way on all of them. They looked like they had all been spit out of the same misshapen form that way. They were all identical.I was leaving town and couldn't make it to the PO to return these, so instead, I sat with a pair of pliers and systematically bent each fork back to straight form.I put a dish towel between pliers and fork so as not to scratch it.I will say that I needed to use pliers, because the fork was not lightweight enough for me to do this using just my fingers. I guess that's a point in the plus column for not being thin and flimsy.It didn't take long to do; it wasn't difficult to do either. The end result is that they look perfectly fine and match the rest of the Mikasa Hamilton service.The only thing that irked me, was the description of "like new, open box".If these were new, they'd definitely be unacceptable. If I'd had time to return them, maybe I would have.All that being said, they are comfortable to use and feel good in hand.I've since run half of them through the dishwasher with no issues either.

Great soup / cereal spoons. Perfect weight. I hand-wash, no problems with spotting. Love the quality and style. Well made.

Good quality.

These bouillon spoons are 6.5” not 6” as written in description. I like that they are a bit longer as my regular teaspoons are 6.25”. I am comparing these to recently purchased 7” soup spoons (amazon Muncene store) that anre also 18/10 stainless steel. These bouillon’s are not as heavy weight but also cost less than the 7” soup spoons. These are perfect for cereal, soup, gravies and raviolis. These 7” are for heavier gumbos and a fancier. I highly recommend these for everyday use. They will go in the same slot as my teaspoons.

I entertain a group of about 30 people from time to time for potlucks. I do not like using or having plastic utensils. These were a very affordable and highly attractive solution and I have more than enough. They are sturdy enough for man's hand. NO BENDING of the shaft. Light enough for a woman's hand and stylish enough to feel elegant. (Children use them too and not for digging in the garden -- they are too pretty for that!)One of the BEST entertainment investments I have made.I keep the "good" silver for the sophisticated meals. I'd be crushed if something happened to one of them. THESE are less worrisome in that if one got lost or fell in the dish disposal, I would not cry. I'd jump online and order more of these.Worry-free. Durable. Very pretty. I am proud of my potluck flatware.
