Yes, silver-plated flatware should be hand-washed with a gentle, non-abrasive detergent and dried immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. To maintain its luster, you will need to use a silver polish periodically to remove natural tarnish.

While the Spatours spoon has a distinct, ornate Louis XV aesthetic, silver-plated pieces can often be mixed with high-quality stainless steel if you are aiming for a curated, eclectic look. However, note that the warm, reflective tone of silver plate will be noticeably different from the cooler, greyish hue of stainless steel.

Christofle pieces are known for their substantial, balanced weight. While it is not heavy enough to be cumbersome, it has a solid, high-quality feel that signals durability and craftsmanship.

It is strongly recommended that you avoid the dishwasher. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the silver-plated finish and lead to premature tarnishing or scratching over time.
