GINKGO International Lafayette 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4, Silver, 36015-9

.Amazon.com

Lafayette is one of Ginkgo's top-selling flatware patterns, and with good reason. While the pieces are elegant enough for a formal occasion, the hammered finish on the handles provides a casual, handmade appeal. Nicely balanced, Lafayette handles taper from a slender neck to a wide, rounded tab end which lifts up off the table with a subtle flourish. The spoon bowls are squared off for a contemporary look, the forks feature extra-long tines, and the knife is constructed of one solid piece. Brightly polished to a mirror shine, Lafayette practically sparkles thanks to all its reflective planes.
This 20-piece set includes four place settings, each consisting of a 9-1/2-inch dinner knife, 8-inch dinner fork, 7-inch salad fork, 7-1/2-inch soup spoon, and 6-3/8-inch teaspoon. Crafted of durable 18/10 stainless steel and designed to be used on a daily basis, the flatware is conveniently dishwasher-safe, although soaking in water and prolonged exposure to acidic foods should be avoided to prevent spotting. A family-owned business since 1977, Ginkgo International is dedicated to quality design and value when it comes to flatware for the home. --Ann Bieri
