FAQs

How should I wash my stainless steel serveware?

Our essential tableware that’s made from pure stainless steel is dishwasher-safe. The pieces that include other materials, such as wood or leather, should be washed by hand.

Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before washing stainless steel products in the dishwasher, as not all stainless steel goods are made to our high standards for durability and resilience.

How long does stainless steel tableware last?

That depends on the quality of the stainless steel, as well as the product’s craftsmanship. Because we use high-grade 18/8 stainless steel and craft our pieces traditionally by hand, they boast a life cycle of 100 years.

How often should I polish my stainless steel serveware?

Our products will retain their brilliant mirror finishes with no polishing necessary. If you notice any mild discolorations or fingerprints, you can easily restore your serveware to like-new condition with stainless steel polish and a soft cloth.

Do stainless steel products rust?

Corrosion resistance varies depending on the quality of the stainless steel. Our top-quality stainless steel is highly resistant to all types of corrosion and should provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

Why is 18/8 the best type of stainless steel for making serveware?

18/8 stainless steel is composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This ratio is ideal for stainless steel serveware because it’s durable, hygienic, food-safe, non-reactive, and resistant to corrosion and extreme heat. It also offers timeless eye appeal.

Are stainless steel products heavy?

The weight of stainless steel products depends on their size, thickness, amount of metal used, and overall craftsmanship. In order to ensure that your essential tableware will hold up to regular use and feel fantastic in your hand, our designs naturally have a pleasant heft.

Is stainless steel an environmentally friendly material?

Our stainless steel products are an eco-friendly choice, as they’re 100% recyclable and sustainable.

Additionally, because we’re a small business that uses traditional handcrafting techniques, our stainless steel serveware’s carbon footprint is much smaller than factories that mass-produce stainless steel goods.

What are some unique ways I can use modern serveware?

Our beautiful designs are surprisingly versatile and can be used as lovely decorations throughout the home—think beyond the table!

For example, many of our pitchers have artistic shapes that would make them stylish substitutes for vases. Fill them with flowers, and place them on a corner table by a sunny window.

Many of our customers use our trays and platters as catch-alls for small items, such as keys, phones, wallets, and jewelry. Keep one on your vanity or dresser so you always have an easily accessible storage solution.

We encourage you to get creative with our stainless steel serveware! Our bowls make wonderful accent pieces on their own, or you could fill them with decorative objects, such as polished stones, rattan balls, fruit, marbles, or potpourri.

How long does it take to make a stainless steel product?

That depends on the techniques used. Some factories are able to produce low-quality stainless steel goods by the second.

However, our traditionally handcrafted essential tableware requires a significant amount of time, effort, and skill. For example, a single 15” bowl typically takes around six hours for our master artisans to complete.
