About us

Crafting the centerpiece of the table since 1999

Only Tableware was established in Shanghai in 1999. For more than 25 years we have focused on one thing: premium cutlery that brings craftsmanship and elegance to the table.

Our story

We work across three specialties: 18-10 stainless steel cutlery; artistic cutlery finished in silver or gold plating, or made in sterling silver; and forged cutlery upper-parts for professional makers. Many of our patterns follow French tradition, from Louis XV ornament to Art Deco geometry, alongside clean contemporary lines.

We understand the importance of table culture. That is why we hold every stage, from design to manufacturing, to the standards our professional customers expect.
