Setting the Chinoiserie Table-Cheap & Chic Flatware


The bamboo flatware above featured in Joe Nye's book Flair is beautiful but pricey, at $150.00 a place setting by Juliska. Here are some great alternatives at less than $10.00 a place setting. For your information, the flatware that looks like real bamboo is generally faux and dishwasher safe. I own the black bamboo from Caspari and the natural bamboo from Horchow and love them. Flatware need not be silver or expensive to be Chinoiserie Chic!

  2. Good looking.

    I could see a setting with these, preferably the black ones.

    Love the touches of pink in the flowers.

  8. The black caspari flatware is nice, but the quality is better for picnics and outdoor eating. I believe they are dishwasher safe, but I'm a little hesitant. Overall though, they are definitely a great lookalike at an excellent price!
