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!

They have some sort of finish. I think it's varnish. If you don't like it a quick scrub with a piece of steel wool will take it off. I found that out after I accidentally let sweet and sour sauce dry on a pair. It didn't affect the chopstick that much.

I just stumbled upon your question while looking for flatware to add to my wedding registry and this is the set my parents have. We had this same issue with the black marks on the butter from the serrated grooves and had no idea what was causing them for the longest time. There is actually nothing wrong with the knives, we found that if you use these knives to cut an avocado, sometimes the rind/skin remains in the grooves even after being washed in the dishwasher.

probably not stained. But actually, It's not my set which was dark color, is on sale for $89 on amazon. I'm very pleased with it.

They are stoneware so shouldn't scratch too much....however my set of Orleans stoneware from Pfalzgraf is all scratched up in the white center where it really shows up, due to use of steak knives....not sure how the Hearthstone, which is also stoneware I believe, compares.

Mine does not, I'm assuming marking is at least the same between knives. One side has the characters as shown and the other is blank. Same with the blade, markings on one side and blank on the other.

I have not had a problem with them being spotted but I don't use the drying feature on the dishwasher. These are excellent knives I was given a set in 2002 for our wedding and the 2 I have from the original set are just as sharp as this set. I ordered these to replace lost knives none of them were broken. Hope it helps

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.

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.

I got the color of grater that I ordered. The points are not sharp, but, it does actually grate. I however have ruined several manicures trying not to waste the last end of garlic. So, expect to throw away approximately 1/4 of every clove. (we have started saving them in some olive oil and using them for other things).

Sorry - there is not any imprint on the actual knives and I no longer have the packaging. I can confirm that I'm completely happy with the knives.

I think you got a bad one....mine were beautiful and I have been complimented on them. Only complaint is it takes a while to figure out how to set the knife on he plate without it sliding out. Best

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.

I would say it's the way the photo was taken. The spoons are shiny and it could be a reflection of something.My spoons have a nice feel to them, are shiny and are heftier than my old spoons. I would highly recommend these spoons and the price is right.

Nope! Using this set everyday and no black marks or scratches of any kind. These are amazingly durable. I have issues with my hands and have dropped these, banged other things into them... Not a chip or crack to be found! The stoneware seems to be of high quality.

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!

According to other websites and some Amazon listings (check under the Rachael Ray "Little Hoot" dinnerware set), the set is porcelain. Mine aren't marked either.
