Oneida Colonial Boston Flatware

The set includes service for eight people, with each place setting consisting of a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon, and teaspoon. It also comes with five essential serving pieces: a serving spoon, a pierced serving spoon, a serving fork, a butter knife, and a sugar spoon.

The 18/0 designation means the steel contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel. This makes the flatware durable and resistant to rust, though it is slightly less lustrous and more magnetic than 18/10 stainless steel, which contains nickel for added shine and corrosion resistance.

The satin finish is generally more forgiving than a high-polish mirror finish. While it can still show water spots if not dried promptly after washing, it is much better at hiding fingerprints and minor surface scratches from daily use.

This set is designed for everyday use, meaning it has a balanced, moderate weight. It feels substantial enough to be durable for daily meals but isn't overly heavy or cumbersome to handle.

Yes, this set is dishwasher safe. To keep the satin finish looking its best, we recommend using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh scouring pads, which can dull the surface over time.

Oneida's limited lifetime warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal household use. If you experience issues like structural failure or significant corrosion, you can contact the manufacturer for a replacement or repair.
