We love this silverware! The have a really nice weight and balance to them, and they feel good to hold. The large spoons are definitely huge - really great for sipping soup or stew from the side of the spoon, like Asian style soup spoons. Tip the spoon towards your lips instead of trying to putting the spoon in your mouth. It is a little awkward to eat from them conventionally. However, they have a lot of style and we purchased a second set after trying them.
