Appetizer Flatware Set

About this find

This Appetizer Flatware Set from Year & Day is built for little bites. It includes two Mini Appetizer Forks, both 4.25 inches long, and two Mini Appetizer Spoons, both 4.75 inches long. Their small size suits meats, cheeses and dips, so guests can serve themselves without reaching for bulky spoons or toothpicks.

Each piece is made of European 18/10 stainless steel and hand-finished. The set comes from a family-owned factory in Portugal, in a region that has been making flatware for nearly one hundred years. European stainless steel is made with the highest environmental standards in the world, which is a nice detail for anyone who cares where their tableware comes from.

Picture a cheese board with cubes of cheese, sliced salami and a small bowl of dip. A mini fork lifts a bite neatly, and a mini spoon scoops just enough dip for one cracker. Setting one of each beside the board gives guests a clear way to serve themselves.

Care is simple. The set is dishwasher safe, but wash it soon after use and choose an anti-abrasive, non-citrus detergent. The Matte Black and Matte Gold finishes should come out of the dishwasher once the cycle ends and be dried completely soon after. Wash these small pieces soon after the party so food does not sit on them.
