The actual size of these utensils is unreal.. they are very large! The "teaspoons" are the size of a normal soup spoon. The tines on the dinner fork are easily twice as long as a normal form. The look of them is gorgeous and they are a nice weight.. not too light and not too heavy. But these are meant for a giant, not a normal sized 5'8" person. Think flatware for Shaquille O'Neill. I've attached a photo of a regular sized dinner flatware set next to this product. You can clearly see that the dining size is the same size, or smaller, as the dessert size. I won't be returning because I do love them, but they are ridiculously large.
