FAQs

Is this cutlery set suitable for daily use?

Yes, crafted from premium 18/10 stainless steel, the Arthur Price Avalon set is designed for both everyday meals and special occasions, offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion.

How do I best maintain the unique hammered texture and shine?

For optimal brilliance and to preserve the hammered finish, hand washing with mild soap and immediate drying with a soft, lint-free cloth is strongly advised. If using a dishwasher, remove and dry promptly after the cycle.

What does '18/10 stainless steel' signify?

18/10 stainless steel indicates a composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Chromium provides excellent corrosion resistance, while nickel adds luster and enhances durability, making it a high-quality standard for cutlery.

Can I safely clean this set in a dishwasher?

Yes, the set is dishwasher safe for your convenience. However, for long-term preservation of its unique brilliance and finish, hand washing is recommended.

What is covered under the 50-year guarantee?

The 50-year manufacturer's guarantee covers any defects in material or workmanship under normal household use and when cared for according to the provided instructions. It assures the enduring quality of your purchase.

How many individual pieces are included in this set?

This is a comprehensive 32-piece set, perfectly serving 8 people. It includes 8 table knives, 8 table forks, 8 dessert spoons, and 8 tea spoons.

Is the packaging for this cutlery set environmentally friendly?

Yes, the Arthur Price Avalon set is presented in plastic-free and fully recyclable gift box packaging, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility.

Are there any specific restrictions when purchasing the knives?

Yes, due to age restrictions, knives are not for sale to persons under the age of 18. Delivery will require Age Verified Delivery (AVD), meaning proof of age may be requested by the carrier.

Troubleshooting

Water spots or streaks appear after washing

This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water or slow drying. Ensure cutlery is dried immediately and thoroughly after washing, especially if using a dishwasher. A rinse aid can help in dishwashers, or hand-drying with a soft, lint-free cloth is best.

Hammered finish appears dulling over time

Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaning tools. Hand wash with mild soap and dry promptly. For a restored shine, use a specialized stainless steel polish sparingly as per product instructions, then buff with a soft cloth.

Minor scratches on the surface

Stainless steel can scratch over time with heavy use or if stored incorrectly. Always store cutlery in an organized tray to prevent pieces from rubbing against each other. Minor scratches are often cosmetic and do not affect performance.

Knives don't feel sharp enough for certain foods

The knives feature a curved blade designed for general dining use and effective cutting of typical meal items. They are not intended to be as razor-sharp as specialty kitchen knives. Maintain good cutting technique and avoid using them on excessively hard surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Arthur Price Avalon cutlery set arrives in a recyclable gift box packaging, ready for its first use. No assembly is required. We recommend an initial thorough wash of all pieces before their first contact with food.

  1. Carefully unpack all 32 pieces from the protective packaging.
  2. Perform an initial wash, either by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle.
  3. Ensure all pieces are completely dry before storage or first use to prevent water spots.

Compatibility

The timeless silver finish and blended traditional/modern design ensure this set is highly compatible with a wide array of dinnerware. It will seamlessly integrate with classic porcelain, contemporary stoneware, or even rustic ceramic settings, enhancing your overall table presentation.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will preserve the brilliance and longevity of your cutlery set for its guaranteed 50-year lifespan.

  • Dishwashing: While the set is dishwasher safe, use a mild, non-citrus detergent. Load cutlery with handles down (knives with blades down for safety) to ensure thorough cleaning. Remove cutlery promptly after the wash cycle completes and dry by hand with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
  • Hand Washing (Recommended): For optimal preservation of the hammered texture and original brilliance, hand washing is advised. Use warm water, a mild non-abrasive dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and immediately dry each piece completely with a soft, lint-free towel. This prevents mineral deposits from hard water and protects the finish.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel and dull the hammered finish.
  • Food Residue: Avoid leaving food residues (especially acidic foods like lemon, vinegar, or highly salted items) on the cutlery for extended periods, as this can lead to pitting or discoloration.
  • Storage: Store cutlery in a dry environment. Consider using a cutlery tray or caddy to prevent pieces from scratching each other.
