Stainless steel flatware to compliment Fiesta Dinnerware

9 years ago

I just bought a house in AZ (vacation home for us) and need 18/10 flatware that will compliment the Fiesta dishes. I am more traditional in my tastes but don't really want something super ornate. I am liking Federal Platinum by Lenox but its costly...wondered if anyone else had any ideas. Want a heavy weight flatware not too fancy. Love to get a pattern that has other serving pieces available like sugar spoon butter knife, serving fork and slatted spoon. I am really having a hard time finding something that I love.

We got Henkel on sale. The stuff we got is 18/10, feels hefty in your hand and is a simple and classic shape.

I have a lot of brightly colored Fiesta stuff in my FL vacation house. I got Laguiole silverware and I love it w/ the dishes!

This isn't the brand I got (can't find my seller any more) but this is very similar:

I too have Fiesta and wanted a heavier made in the USA flatware. I found this a few years ago. Check it out: http://sherrillmfg.com/

I have 12 place settings of Fiesta all in different colors and I have Mikasa Bravo 18/10 flatware. I got it for a steal at Costco right before Thanksgiving. The 12 place setting set was $60.

Be careful of the Laguiole. Despite their claims that you can wash them in your dishwasher, the "metal" that attaches the tines/bowl/blade to the handle is really plastic and erodes with time if you put them in the dishwasher.

I have something similar to this Liberty Classic Rim and I think it does a good job of echoing the ring pattern of the fiestaware without being too busy and competing with the fiesta.

Your Lenox Federal looks quite similar to me to Oneida Forte in 18/10. How does the price compare....On sale their website, free shipping over $99

I don't remember the pattern but it is a more plain squarish but rounded corners. But yes, hefty and made in the USA!

Just went to take a look here: http://libertytabletop.com/shop/ and see way more choices than when I purchased several years ago. I ended up with the Lexington but see now that my choice may have been different given these choices. Go with what calls to you. That is the beauty of fiesta it works for everyone and with everything!

I have Oneida Frost, which looks very similar to the Forte. I was drawn to the simple contemporary design. The Frost has apparently been discontinued, though, but you can still get it. I've had my set well before my wedding and it has held up well.

I like the Oneida Cityscape pattern, bought at:

http://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/cityscape-stainless.html

It has the same Deco feel Fiesta has, and it's heavier than most that I looked at. I got the 36 piece boxes of the basics, so I don't ever have to think about it again!
