Black 18/10 Flatware Set, 24 Piece

A twenty-four-piece flatware service for six in 18/10 stainless steel with a matte black finish. The set breaks down into six dinner forks, six dinner knives, six dinner spoons, and six teaspoons, which is the working combination for a table that seats six without borrowing from a second set. Nothing is left out, and no odd serving pieces pad the count.

18/10 is the specification worth paying attention to. The chromium content is what resists staining from tomato, vinegar, and citrus, and the nickel content is what gives the pieces their weight and their resistance to corrosion over years of washing. The matte black finish sits on top of that base and does something practical as well as visual: it hides fingerprints, water marks, and the light scuffing that shows up immediately on mirror-polished flatware.

This set is dishwasher safe. Load pieces so they are not packed tight against each other, avoid harsh citrus- or bleach-based detergents, and take the set out once the cycle is done rather than leaving it in a hot, damp machine. Handled that way, the finish stays even and matte. It suits everyday use, a rental or second home, and any table where black dinnerware is already in play.
