Waterford is an Irish company that dates back to 1783. They are known more for their crystal than cutlery but produce some nice flatware.

This Waterford Northbridge 45-piece Set is made of dishwasher safe 18/10 Stainless Steel (the knives are 18/0). It is a full service for 8 that includes knife, regular and dessert spoon, and regular and salad fork. Included as well is a 5 piece serving set.

I like the lace edge design and the fact they admitted they changed up the steel for the knives.

We have reviewed Gorham products before and they are known for good value with good products. This ribbon edge cutlery has a nice look. Made of tarnish resistant dish washer safe 18/10 stainless steel it is also a good bargain.

Consisting of a setting for twelve people each with a five piece place settings which includes a fork, knife, spoon, salad fork and teaspoon. But wait there’s more, also included is a five piece Hostess set which has a cold meat fork (won’t work with hot?), tablespoon, pierced tablespoon, sugar spoon and butter knife. But if you call now we’ll also include 12 extra teaspoons and 12 cocktail forks!

To be clear, this is not the frosted set. Word on the frosted set isn’t great, tarnishing issues sadly.
