18/10 stainless steel is not a marketing number: it describes 18% chromium and 10% nickel, the ratio that keeps serving pieces from rusting, pitting or losing their shine. That is what the Aladdin Antique Salad Server Set is made of, finished with high-grade acrylic handles and the intricate lattice metalwork that runs through the Antique pattern. Bugatti produces it in Lumezzane, Lombardy, working inside that town's metalworking tradition across more than ninety years of table and kitchen utensils. The fork and spoon are sized to reach into a deep bowl and come out with a proper portion, which is really the only test a salad server has to pass at a table of hungry people who are in no hurry to leave it. Handsome enough to set out for a holiday, plain enough to toss a Tuesday salad with.
