£19.85(£23.82 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Elia Clara teaspoon is a polished mirror-finish piece from Elia's Clara flatware range. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a 2.5mm gauge, it has a solid, balanced feel in the hand and a clean, unfussy profile that sits comfortably across a wide range of table settings — from casual café service through to more formal restaurant and hotel covers.
In a busy service environment, cutlery takes a great deal of handling, repeated machine washing, and the occasional knock. The heavier gauge of the Clara teaspoon helps it hold its shape and finish over extended use, and the 18/10 steel composition gives reasonable resistance to the staining and pitting that can affect lower-grade flatware over time. It is fully dishwasher safe, which matters when you are turning covers quickly and need reliable throughput through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher.
Practically speaking, the Clara range suits operators who want a presentable, durable teaspoon without the premium cost of fully forged flatware. Key operational points worth noting:
- Mirror finish presents well on the table and shows polish marks clearly — polishing cloths are advisable for formal service
- 18/10 steel offers good corrosion resistance in commercial dishwasher conditions
- 2.5mm gauge gives reassuring weight without being unnecessarily heavy
- Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to manage par stock
- Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher cycles
The Clara teaspoon is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations. If you are equipping a large site or need to match across a broader flatware range, it is worth considering the full Clara collection for consistency across covers.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your cover count, or whether Clara is the right range for your service style, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.
Frequently asked questions
How many packs do I need for my cover count?
A general rule for table service is to hold two to three times your cover count in teaspoons to account for service, washing cycles, and breakages. For a 40-cover restaurant running two sittings, four to six packs of 12 is a reasonable starting point, though higher-volume operations or sites with slower dishwasher turnaround may need more.
Will the mirror finish hold up in a commercial dishwasher over time?
The 18/10 steel and polished finish are designed to withstand regular commercial dishwasher use, though as with any mirror-finish flatware, water quality and detergent choice do affect long-term appearance. In areas with hard water, a rinse aid and prompt unloading will help maintain the finish. For formal table service, a light polish before laying is standard practice regardless of steel grade.
Is the Clara teaspoon suitable for use alongside other Elia ranges?
The Clara teaspoon is part of Elia's broader Clara flatware collection, so it is designed to coordinate with other Clara pieces across spoons, forks, and knives. If you are mixing ranges across a site — for example, using a different pattern in a function suite — it is worth checking the finish and weight profile sits consistently, as even within polished ranges there can be visible differences between patterns.
