Gold and copper finishes in cutlery are very popular right now. And this flatware set from Aoosy combines both, as it were. They call their finish “Rose Gold” and it’s made from stainless steel 18/2 with a titanium rose gold plate. They say it’s like copper silverware, but not copper silverware. Which to me speaks about the fact that it isn’t silverware priced.

This is a service for six that includes a tablespoon, fork, knife and teaspoon. It is dishwasher safe but they have some pretty specific washing instructions that I find interesting: “Use neutral detergent to flush it ,Pls never use strong alkaline or strong oxidizing chemicals wash them , such as baking soda, bleaching powder, sodium hypochlorite.”. My translation is, hand wash them. Plate flatware never does well in a dishwasher.

I was reading a great article on flatware over at TotalFood.com and saw mention of this cutlery with a hole in it. Oneida, who we all know and love, has this great set with a pierced handle.

This 20 piece set is a service for 4 with salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon and teaspoon. They say the design is fashioned after traditional copper cookware. The holes in the handles are perfect for hanging up your cutlery (handy on a boat or RV) but the rivets on the back are fake gratefully. It has a brushed finish and is dishwasher safe 18/0 stainless steel. And the usual Oneida limited lifetime warranty.

Boy, copper sure is becoming the thing in cutlery these days. The Artaste 56419 Rain 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware is antique copper finished and has a great look. This 36 piece set is a service for 12 with just a dinner knife, dinner fork, and teaspoon.

This flatware is made from 18/10 stainless steel and the knife is 420 steel for a sharp edge. They claim that the antique copper plated finish is dishwasher safe as long as you use no harsh detergents. Considering it is copper plate, I’d be safer than sorry and handwash.
