Tableware for every day: robust enamel and ceramic pieces, plus durable table cutlery from Güde. The pieces in this collection are robust enough for everyday use and stylish enough for guests — tableware you buy once and keep for years.
How to recognise good tableware
- Material: Enamel is robust, food-safe and practically indestructible; ceramic brings warmth and character to the table.
- Cutlery craftsmanship: Fasseiche or walnut handles turn table knives, forks and spoons into pieces you will want to keep for years.
- Timeless design: Simple shapes outlast every interior trend, keeping your tableware looking current rather than destined for the discard pile.
- Collections rather than one-off purchases: Cutlery collections such as Alpha and Kappa can be built up piece by piece.
Our brands: why these ones
Güde makes table cutlery from the Alpha and Kappa collections — table knives, table forks and table spoons, some with Fasseiche or walnut handles. The same care that goes into its kitchen knives, designed for the set table. Fair Together adds further tableware to the collection.
Practical tips: how to keep your tableware looking good for years
Enamel handles heat without a problem, but does not like thermal shock — allow hot tableware to cool briefly before running cold water over it. It is best to wash cutlery with wooden handles by hand, so the wood stays smooth and crack-free. Ceramic is usually dishwasher-safe, but it also benefits from gentle handling.
What makes enamel tableware special?
Enamel combines a steel core with a glass-like surface: robust, neutral in taste and easy to clean. That is why enamel has been used for generations — from the breakfast table to camping.
How do I care for cutlery with wooden handles?
Wash by hand, dry and you are done. Occasionally, you can refresh the wood with a little food-safe oil — this keeps the handle looking good and well sealed.
What goes well with this tableware?
Durable cookware for preparation, a sharp kitchen knife for serving and coasters and trivets to protect your table and teapot. Find more useful helpers in kitchen accessories.
