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 Italian Countryside Dinner Knife by Mikasa measures 9.12" in length. The Italian Countryside silverware pattern was created to complement the dinnerware with the same name. However, the designers at Mikasa also created an iconic flatware design, featuring shiny, rounded handles that are nearly impossible to bend, with an excellent balance. The handle of the Italian Countryside flatware pattern features clean, column like lines, making a striking addition to your dining experience. The manufacturer changed factories two years ago and the place setting pieces are slightly larger than before and the banding on the top of the handle is smaller. Another change is that the dinner knives are now serrated. If you are trying to match your flatware that you purchased previously, please see the measurements below on this page.
This pattern compliments Metropolitan by Fortessa and may have other pieces you are looking for. You may also like to browse our stainless flatware patterns featuring round handles. We also carry the Italian Countryside Dinnerware by Mikasa.
