I have only had my 12 place settings of Vietri Antique Aladdin for several weeks but I could not be more pleased with it! Since this flatware was purchased for every day use, I was concerned about how it would survive through multiple wash cycles in the dishwasher. To my relief, it continues to come out looking like new every time. In addition, I am enjoying that the tortoise shell option that I purchased looks as lovely for a very casual table setting as it does in creating a fun, interesting, eclectic surprise to more formal dining!
