Which of the colors are LEAST likely to show cutlery marks? I have a full set in marigold and they are so marked up --

There is a cleaning rubbing compound available of most of the shopping channels that with just a tiny amount of elbow grease will remove those marks. That is the silver marks left by utensils. The scratches are there forever unfortunately.

Well, the dark ones, but surprisingly my white set has NO marks! Lemongrass, Peacock and Flamingo are holding up pretty well too!

I gotta tell you... I love this set but its funny you mention it. Sometimes when they come out of the dishwasher, one piece will have a little spot of rust. But it wipes right off. Not sure why it happens. But I don't mind it, they are so shiny and nice. I don't have any issues with staining.

Each of the knives are marked Germany, for this particular set. I've had mine for a while now and have been very happy with them!

There were all pieces in my set that the item stated & I am very pleased with their quality. However, I already had one set, but I've found if I leave the serving spoons in some dishes such as the dressing made to go with turkey, it discolors the gold. I don't know how to correct this, so I ordered the 2nd set & more serving pieces to make sure I have new looking ones to go around.

No problems with spots so far, but I hand wash all my knives. Then dry them by hand as well. Still very sharp. They get used regularly.

Yes, but it will show the knife marks. I have friends who serve steaks on them and they do show the wear of cutting but are still very presentable for dining. Wiping with some mineral oil after washing helps.

The knives are rounded out but the rest of the pieces all have a very slight indent. Hope that helps

I have part of an older set from my Mom ... 2007? no mark on bottom, only lines from foot inward. Also have salad/soup plates with same center designs and wavy edge - no markings.

Hi there! We make fingerpaints with these colors and plain yogurt with great results. We mix them in an icetray and I noticed the yellow sticks around a bit, but havent noticed any stains other than the yellow on the icetray. Hope that helps.

No, I don't recall them staining. Or if they do, only a little and they clean up well. They will sustain tiny scratches from sharp knives. I consider these plates to be my "every day plates", to be used and abused by my family. I do not stress about tiny imperfections. I am happy that they don't shatter, don't get as hot in the microwave, and are basically indestructible. Good luck with your decision!

My knife has the same markings on it. No indication of blade steel on the blade. I don't have the box with me to look for any indications on there either. So far sounds legit.

I bought these as a gift for a friend. Although I don't use them, I SEE them at his home all the time. I have never seen marks from any utensils or flatware. He likes the dishes and has never said anything about marks.

I got both. they're both porcelain and I think the cork markings one looks the best. Good luck

We have had the dishes about a year, and have never seen silverware marks on them. My mom has Fiestaware and her plates are all marked up!

The black is soft and can be damaged with moderate force. The yellow is quite durable, but it depends on just what you are doing with the silverware. Hope this helps some.

The blade guards are solid colors. Each knife has a different colored guard. These knife are OUTSTANDING!!!!

Robert, are you talking about the area that is silver (the sharpened area)? Because I looked at mine closely just now and what I didn't notice when I first got it was that on mine the silver part seems to have a clear coating on it. I'm not sure of what, but it seems like tiny bubbles or debris in the clear coating. The black metal part of mine has one or two tiny pits but thats about it. Maybe contact the seller and swap it out?
