Best-Selling Flatware Patterns
Choosing flatware is one of those decisions that seems simple, until you’ve scoured the internet looking at dozens of beautiful options, trying to figure out which fork will earn its place in your drawer. Should it match your everyday dishes? Hold up in the dishwasher? Look right in candlelight next to a good bottle of wine?
At Villeroy & Boch, we’ve spent generations answering those questions, and a handful of patterns have become clear favorites with home cooks and hosts alike. Here’s a look at the silverware our customers reach for the most, sorted by how (and how often) they use it.
What Makes a Flatware Pattern “Best-Selling”?
The patterns that top our sales charts tend to share three qualities: a comfortable, secure grip; a finish that resists tarnishing and scratching through years of daily use; and a design flexible enough to sit under a weeknight taco or a holiday roast without looking out of place. Durability matters as much as style; nobody wants to replace their silverware every few years.
With that in mind, here’s how our flatware best-sellers break down by occasion.
