Artaste has a brand new line of cutlery called “Rain”  that was just released. This service for twelve is 36 pieces that includes a dinner knife, dinner fork, and teaspoon. It’s a simple set with a simple elegant design. It’s a solid set with thick ergonomics handles.

They are made from 18/10 stainless steel that is dishwasher safe. They recommend no harsh detergents and I suggest keeping them away from other cutlery in the dishwasher to avoid rust spots.

Artaste Rain Flatware 36-Piece Set, Service for 12

This is a beautiful looking set of flatware with lovely golden rose accents. But I have said it before and it is worth saying again, if you want the gold to stay on the cutlery then keep it out of the dishwasher! You need to hand wash these and it is not just the dishwasher detergent that does the damage, it is the rattling against themselves and other flatware. So please treat them with respect if you want them to last. OK, ranting over.

This 20 piece set of cutlery contains a place fork, place knife, place spoon, salad fork and teaspoon and it made of 18/10 stainless steel. It is part of the Royal Albert Old Country Roses Dinnerware Set.

This set of flatware for four by Royal is considered to be of restaurant and hotel quality. What does that mean? Well I guess it depends on the restaurant or hotel. Either way it seems to be a nice set.

Consisting of four dinner forks, four teaspoons, four knives, four salad forks and four tablespoons and made of mirror polished 18/10 stainless steel. Each utensil is individually wrapped in wax paper and sealed in plastic bags and packaged in gift box.  So it makes for a nice wedding gift me thinks.
