J.A. International Alcea flatware set, 20-pc, Silver

We purchased a set of four some months ago. They are an excellent value for the money. We love the smooth. polished finish, and the size and weight of the utensils. They have a classic look that I appreciate more the longer I have them. This is a high-quality product at a very reasonable price.

I really enjoy these. The set for four has held up nicely with shine and no scratches or bent silverware. I recommend the blend that this set has. Not just stainless steel but nickel added keeps them strong and unbendable. Yup, made up that word I think. Worth the cost I paid, in fact I had been thinking of ordering another set for four. Happy eating!

Overall, satisfied with this flatware set. The weight of each piece is perfect and fits in your hand as they should. My one complaint, and this seems to be consistent with other flatware sets I've owned, is the rusting that occurs with the butter knives after being washed in the dishwasher. The other utensils are not affected. So I am no longer using the dishwasher for the knives :(

We purchased the large package of Alcea flatware several years ago. They look as nice today as back then. They have a smooth touch and shiny look. (They are truly disherwasher safe!) The weight is perfect and the design is elegant. We especially like the size of the teaspoons. Our recent purchase was to replace two pieces lost at a recent family gathering. So glad the smaller order was available for replacement purposes!

I have been using this set of silverware for about five months now, and it is holding up very well. The pieces go through the dishwasher frequently, and they still look brand new. The one negative thing about them is they soak up heat. For instance, if you leave a spoon sitting in the pan while you’re heating up soup, the handle gets too hot to hold. Otherwise, they’re great.
