What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

The Filet Toiras French Sauce Spoon by Sambonet measures 7.12". Sambonet's Filet Toiras pattern features a design that's commonly called "thread border, teardrop shape"; in this case, the thread border is also repeated on the underside of each piece, with an extra loop under the bowl of the spoons and extra long tines of the forks. The handle is a modified teardrop, as there is an extra flair at the end to give the pattern a decidedly French look, which is appropriate as the pattern is named after a famous French hotel. It is one of the most popular styles, and with its simple styling it will coordinate with any style of tableware, plain or complex, but probably works best with traditional dinnerware. Each piece is made of top quality 18/10 Stainless Steel, and is backstamped Sambonet, which adds a luxurious touch to each piece.
The Filet Toiras Stainess French sauce spoon looks much like a regular spoon with some noticeable differences. It has a thinner edge, flattened bowl, and a distinctive notch on one side of it. The size and shape is most similar to that of a dessert spoon.
The French sauce spoon design helps scoop a sauce from a plate easily, without tipping the plate. The purpose of the notch on the side is intended to allow oil or fat to drain away from the sauce, or function in a way that's comparable to the fish knife.
