Afternoon tea with sparkle
Lay each saucer with a cup and one of the crystal handle teaspoons, set out a pot of tea, a jug of milk and a plate of cakes, and the table is ready. The crystal-style detail catches the light, so the spoons look especially beautiful with fine china, floral cups and gold-rimmed saucers, as the listing photos show.
Handle with care
The decorative handles are what make these spoons special, so wash them gently by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, paying attention around the embellishments, and dry them straight away. Avoid soaking, scouring pads and harsh cleaners, and do not knock the handles against other cutlery in the drawer.
Caring for gold-finish cutlery
Wash the set of crystal handle teaspoons soon after the meal, especially after eggs, salt, vinegar, citrus and tomato, which can mark steel if left to dry. Use warm water, a little washing-up liquid and a soft sponge, then dry each piece straight away with a soft cloth; air drying leaves water spots on a polished finish. Avoid scouring pads, bleach and abrasive powders.
Gold-coloured finishes stay brightest when washed by hand and dried promptly; do not leave the pieces soaking.
Laying the table
Cutlery is laid in the order it will be used, from the outside in: forks to the left of the plate, knives to the right with the blade facing the plate, and soup or dinner spoons to the right of the knife. Dessert spoons and forks go above the plate. Line up the ends of the handles about 2cm from the table edge, and a simple meal looks cared for. A matching set of crystal handle teaspoons keeps every place setting the same.
Why stainless steel
Stainless steel is the standard for cutlery in homes, restaurants and hotels because it resists rust and corrosion, does not taint food and stands up to years of daily washing. Reusable steel cutlery is also a practical, longer-lasting alternative to disposable plastic cutlery for parties, packed lunches and picnics. A set of crystal handle teaspoons is made to be used every day, not kept for best.
Dishwasher or hand wash?
Stainless steel cutlery can usually cope with a dishwasher, but hand washing is gentler on a polished finish over the years. If you use a dishwasher, load cutlery handles down, mix the pieces so they do not nest together, and avoid putting stainless steel next to silver-plated items. Take the pieces out as soon as the cycle ends and dry any drops with a cloth, so the set of crystal handle teaspoons keeps its shine.
Removing marks
Rainbow-coloured or cloudy marks on steel cutlery usually come from hard water or starch. A soak in warm water with a splash of white vinegar, followed by a rinse and a dry, removes most of them. For stubborn spots, rub gently with a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water on a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Never use steel wool on a set of crystal handle teaspoons, which leaves permanent scratches.
Entertaining guests
When friends and family come over, matching cutlery makes a table look planned. Count place settings before guests arrive and lay everything out in advance, with a spare piece or two on a side table for second helpings and dessert. A set of crystal handle teaspoons is an easy way to make sure there are always enough matching pieces, whether you are hosting Sunday lunch, an Eid dinner or a birthday party.
Matching and mixing
If your existing cutlery has a similar plain, rounded handle, a new set blends in easily; if not, keeping each set separate for different uses works just as well, for example one set for everyday meals and another for guests. Many families also keep a spare set for picnics, packed lunches or a caravan. Buying a set of crystal handle teaspoons means a full matching set is always ready, and the pieces can be added to over time.
Storing cutlery
Keep cutlery in a lined drawer tray, a cutlery holder or its own box so pieces do not scratch one another. Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it away, and keep a set of crystal handle teaspoons together so it is easy to find when guests arrive.
The perfect gift
Crystal handle teaspoons make a memorable gift for a bride, a new home, an anniversary, a birthday or Eid, especially with a tea set, a box of good tea or a pair of glass cups. Wrapped in a box with tissue paper, they look as special as they feel to use.
