Great size for the teaspoon. The handle is about 4" and the scoop length about 2", scoop width 1.25".
The teaspoon is shiny as everyone had said and has a good feel to it.

If you like simple, medium size silverware, this is it. I had a set that I purchased years ago from Crate & Barrel but I gave it to my son - thinking that I will be able to find another just like it. But it was not easy and I bought few sets in between that just did not cut it.
This silverware is beautiful, smooth, great quality.

About two months ago, I decided to upgrade my flatware and purchased the 50 piece WMF Manaos/Bistro flatware set. I was very happy with this purchase, as the utensils are high-polish, clean easily and are the right weight - not too heavy, not too light. They are also made with no sharp edges, so they feel good in your hand when using them. I wanted to add on to my set and decided to buy a set of 4 dinner forks, 4 salad forks, 4 teaspoons and 4 table spoons. The moment I handled them, I could tell they were different from my original set. They looked identical to the original, however, were thinner at the handle upon closer inspection, lighter weight and pretty easy to bend. It made a difference in how they felt during use. To be sure I wasn't nuts (because after all, the two side by side utensils looked identical), I weighed a utensil from my 50-piece set and then weighed the 4-piece version with my digital scale. Sure enough - they were different! The teaspoon from the 50-piece set weighed 1.06oz/30 grams. The 4 piece version weighed .85oz/24g. The dinner fork from the 50-piece set weighed 1.98oz./56g, the 4 piece version weighed 1.27oz/36g. This may not be a big deal for some people, but for me it was. The 4 piece versions are not as sturdy and feel light weight, which to me feels cheaper, especially when I can bend them with my hands. I am disappointed, since the product descriptions for both the 50 piece and the 4 piece versions give no indication there is a difference. They are overall okay utensils, just not the quality I wanted or expected.

Very shiny, not too heavy, not too light, nice feel to them. They are maybe a tiny tiny bit larger than some teaspoons, so they could also be easily used for a cup of soup

I am very pleased that I purchased WMF Bistro forks, knives , spoons and teaspoons. Excellent quality, no need to dry them with a towel after the dishwasher. Very very shiny, with a clean design (the incrustations on the surface of some other expensive silverware make it so difficult to maintain it clean and good looking). WMF is an old company with a great reputation and I've always been pleased with the high quality of their products. The knives have printed WMF logo (with no taika or china). Also this Bistro edition silverware is much cheaper than any other WMF silverware set. I will definately get esspresso an desert sets.

I was fooled by other reviews into thinking these were sturdier, better quality spoons. I bought 2 sets of four spoons. Within two weeks all 8 spoons are bent from either dishwasher or hard ice cream. Made in Vietnam. Disappointed, would neither recommend nor buy again.

Spoons are great for matching up to your silverware. I seemed to have lost most of the spoons to my silverware set. Purchased these to serve coffee.

I needed a few more spoons for dinner/breakfast and found most "dinner" spoons are the huge ones... these are the perfect size and very nice quality. I would definitely buy them again!

This stainless is lighter weight than I had hoped. It is nothing special, especially for the price. Because there is no design, every scratch shows.

These small spoons are perfect. They are a quality item, not too heavy or light and a nice style. I'm enjoying them very much & glad I bought them. I would buy more.
