I bought the little forks to use for dessert during a tea party - I have beautiful dessert forks for use with a silver tea set but wanted something to go with a tea set gilded in 24 carat gold. I have not used it yet but bought it with the demitasse spoon set and noticed that the forks, while small enough, are bigger than the spoons. Oh well. I don't mind. I liked how the gold plating didn't look as if it would touch tea/coffee when placed in a teacup, but now that I see it in person, I think it might, so I worry that the plating may come off. Also, the gold is not as bright as I thought it would be - at first, I was dissapointed, but now I have gotten used to the look so feel OK about it b/c they now have a look of understated elegance. Very beautiful!

I did not know what demitasse was, but my grandmother had demitasse spoons so I thought my serveware set would not be complete without them. After I did some research I learned that demitasse means "half a cup". In other words, it is the same as expresso! I already had an expresso machine and had been serving denitasse for years and didn't know it! Now I have little spoons to stir it with. They are well made and I would recommend them for anyone who wants lovely expresso spoons.

I love these little spoons for guests to enjoy with their coffee or tea. I keep a set of 6 at the coffee station in our home. Everyone loves them and the little ones think they are just their size for pretend Tea Parties. They are perfect for feeding babies too! The quality is what you would expect from Royal Albert Old Country Roses. Durable and Elegant.
