Hampton Forge Amare 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

We purchased 3 sets of Hampton Forge Amare Frosted approximately 2001. Love the pattern, the heavy feel and the durability. They still look almost new. We decided to order one more set because even with 12 place settings we run out of spoons and forks before the dishwasher is full. The pieces look exactly like our original Amare Frosted. EXCEPT: they feel just a tiny bit lighter and thinner. Blindfolded I could easily tell which is the original and which is the new. I would estimate that the new pieces are 95% the size, weight and thickness of the originals. This applies to the cereal spoon, salad fork, and dinner fork. Knife is almost identical. The larger soup/serving spoon is the most different at 90% the size and weight of he original.

I understand that the originals were manufactured under the name Hampton Silversmiths and the newer pieces are manufactured under the name Hampton Forge. Make no mistake, the newer Amare Frosted pieces are beautiful high quality flatware. If you don't own a set already you will have no issue what so ever. Just be prepared if your adding or replacing pieces like I did, that the newer pieces are just slightly lighter weight and ever so slightly smaller than the old.

5 stars for quality. 4 stars for matching original pattern.

Just love this pattern!! Very well made...sturdy and yet very elegant. This completes my original 4 place setting to 12! Very, very pleased! Thanks you

I had purchased this set in 2005, and have loved it, but over the years, we've lost some of it. Decided to get a 8 more settings, and am disappointed that they aren't as heavy, slightly different shape and especially the "Big" spoon is much smaller than my old set. It's shorter and the spoon part is almost as small as the small spoon. Wish they hadn't changed it, as they look great and were nice and heavy!

I bought this item because I own the older, heavier, more sturdy Hampton Silversmith flatware, I read the other reviews that these were about 80-90% the same weight as the old ones, but thats totally inaccurate. Its about half the weight and sturdyness of the old flatware. It no longer stands out from other flatware, now its the same as any other cheap flatware. Very disappointed and will not by hampton i the future unless they go back to the original standards.
