FAQs
Can I put these forks in the dishwasher?
No, these forks must be hand washed only to preserve the integrity of the ceramic handles and the floral design.
What is the length of each fork?
Each pastry fork measures 15cm.
Are these forks suitable for main courses?
No, these are designed specifically for cakes, pastries, and tea-time accompaniments.
Does the set include six pieces?
Yes, each set contains six individual pastry forks.
How should I store them to avoid damage?

Troubleshooting
Surface spots after washing
These are likely water spots; ensure you hand-dry the forks immediately with a soft cloth rather than letting them air dry.
Loosening of the handle
Avoid using the forks for heavy tasks; if the handle appears loose, refrain from using them to prevent the ceramic from detaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; simply remove the forks from the packaging and ensure they are rinsed before their first use. They are fully compatible with existing Portmeirion Water Garden tea sets or can be mixed and matched with neutral-colored stoneware to highlight the vibrant floral handles.
To ensure longevity:
- Hand Wash Only: Never place these in a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the ceramic finish.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not leave the forks submerged in water for extended periods to prevent moisture seepage into the handle joints.
- Gentle Drying: Always dry them immediately after washing with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain the luster of the metal and the brightness of the floral design.
