Artaste Rain 18/10 Stainless Steel (Silver (Set of 12), Teaspoon (6.25-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 really like this cutlery as it is a good shape and looks good washed after wash. Ideal fork shape too. It’s also very nice that you can re-purchase individual pieces as needed to replace any lost forks.

I bought a set of spoons and forks in this design and I am very happy with what I received. The spoons and forks are both extremely sturdy, with no noticeable defects such as sharp edges or evidence of rusting. The metal feels heavy and high quality, but not unwieldy. The spoons are a nice shape and size and would hold up to the most frozen pint of ice cream easily. I wish the handles were a bit longer on both sets. While the ladle end of the spoon is a perfectly good size for normal adult use, the handles are definitely on the short side. But that is not the fault of the product - the listings were accurately described as far as the dimensions, I just didn’t realize I would want something with a longer handle. Something to keep in mind if that is something you care about. To me, it is not a big deal at all and the good design and quality materials make this a quality purchase.

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.

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 absolutely love these spoons! They are very high quality and they are thick enough so that I do not fear about them bending from normal use. In addition, the spoons are finished well without any sharp edges I found in other stainless-steel iced tea spoons. These spoons are the longest I have seen so far, measured between 9 to 10 inches in length. Other ones I have ordered are quite smaller, between 8.25 to 9 inches tall and they were thinner without the nice finishing. I currently use a 30 oz Yeti Rambler Mug that is very tall. I could not find the right spoons to use to stir my coffee every morning. These spoons are perfect! They are tall enough for my Yeti Rambler mug and I can hold the spoon comfortably when I stir the coffee. I use to have problems with smaller spoons and end up getting my fingers into the coffee while I stir. With these, I have plenty of room and my fingers have remained clean. They are worth the price and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting tall spoons that are high quality

Good quality, I like the forks . The instructions says not to leave the forks in water to avoid rusting. If it is made of 18/10 stainless steel how is it possible for them to rust ? The question now is; are they 18/10 stainless steel or not?

This set was just what I was hoping for. Aesthetically pleasing, nice mouth feel.

Buenos y bonitos. Gracias!

I received my spoons today. While the quality is nice, i am VERY disappointed that is only received 8 in what was supposed to be a 12 piece set.

Simple and useful for salad and dessert Match most any table setting
