EPNS stands for Electro-Plated Nickel Silver. Because this is a vintage silver-plated item, it is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed gently with mild soap and dried immediately to prevent tarnishing or damage to the celluloid handles.

Celluloid is a vintage material that can be delicate. While these handles are sturdy enough for dining, they should be kept away from high heat, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals to prevent warping or discoloration over time.

This set is fully functional and can certainly be used for special occasions or formal dinners. However, due to its age and the nature of silver plating, it requires more careful maintenance than modern stainless steel flatware.

Vintage silver plating often develops a unique patina that varies from piece to piece. While it may not perfectly match modern, high-shine silver, the Victorian-style textured pattern is designed to complement a wide range of antique and traditional table settings.

No, this set is not gift-boxed or sold with a storage case. We recommend storing them in a soft, tarnish-resistant cloth roll or a dedicated cutlery chest to protect the silver finish and the celluloid handles when not in use.
