Mikasa Afton Flatware Set

The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of the steel: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This specific blend is considered the gold standard for flatware because it offers superior rust resistance and a high-luster finish that holds up well over years of daily use.

While the braided rim adds texture and visual interest, it is not difficult to maintain. Because the set is dishwasher safe, you can rely on your machine to clean the detailing effectively without needing to scrub the grooves by hand.

In addition to the standard place settings for 12, this set includes five essential serving utensils: a tablespoon, a pierced tablespoon, a cold meat fork, a butter knife, and a sugar spoon.

Like all polished stainless steel, the mirror finish may show fine surface scratches over time with heavy use. However, the high-quality 18/10 steel is durable and designed to resist deep scratching and corrosion, keeping the set looking polished for years.

The lifetime limited warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal household use. It ensures that if the flatware fails due to manufacturing issues, you are protected, though it does not cover damage from misuse or normal wear and tear.
