Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses - Stainless Steel - 3-piece / 1 person

Imagine a beautifully set table that looks like it has just stepped out of a royal dinner. No overcrowded cutlery drawer, no mismatched fork lurking for years - just stylish, timeless cutlery that sets the mood perfectly. The Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses is exactly that: three pieces of refined stainless steel cutlery for 1 person, with lines inspired by the 18th century and an appearance that still radiates that elegance.

Royal company at your table

Prinses is no random name. In 1966, Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus received this collection as a wedding gift - and you can see why. The lines of this cutlery are inspired by the Louis XVI style: understated, noble, and with just enough character to stand out without shouting. No excessive frills, no ostentatious curls. Just the pure beauty of perfectly balanced proportions.

This is the cutlery you take pride in laying on the table. Whether you're serving a simple weekday meal or inviting guests for a festive dinner - Prinses elevates the moment. This is no coincidence; it is the craftsmanship of Van Kempen & Begeer, one of the oldest and most renowned Dutch cutlery brands.

Three reasons to choose Prinses now

• Elegant Louis XVI lines - The noble design makes every meal a celebration, whether you're serving pasta on a weekday evening or welcoming guests.
• Convenient to supplement or replace - Do you already have Prinses cutlery but are missing a piece? Or do you want to set an extra place at the table? This set of 3 is the ideal solution without having to purchase a complete service.
• Dishwasher safe - After enjoying your meal, cleaning up is quick and easy. Just pop it in the dishwasher, and you're done.

Light in hand, heavy in quality

The knives in the Prinses collection feature a hollow handle - a hollow grip that ensures perfect balance and a light feel in the hand. It may sound like a detail, but once you've sliced with a well-balanced knife, you'll never want to go back. Your hand tires less quickly, cutting is smoother, and it just feels... better. This is the kind of attention to detail that has distinguished Van Kempen & Begeer for generations.

The complete set - spoon, knife, and fork in dinner size - is made of 18/10 stainless steel with a high-gloss finish. 18/10 means 18% chromium and 10% nickel: the gold standard for cutlery that resists corrosion, discolouration, and daily use. This is cutlery that won't fade after dozens of washes. It stays shiny, year after year.

Maintenance: as simple as it sounds

Dishwasher safe? Yes. But if you want the shine to remain optimal in the long term, we have a small tip worth considering:

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Preferably wash the Prinses cutlery by hand or dry it immediately after washing. The 18/10 stainless steel can go in the dishwasher, but hand drying prevents water spots and keeps the high-gloss finish looking its best. A clean tea towel and ten seconds per piece - that's all you need.

It’s that combination of convenience and care that makes Prinses so appealing. You don’t have to go out of your way, but if you put in a little extra effort, it rewards you for it. Just like good cooking, really.

Perfect for supplementing your set

A long-time fan of the Prinses collection but just short of a fork or spoon? This set of 3 pieces is the smartest way to keep your cutlery complete. No hassle searching for loose pieces, no compromise on style by adding something else. Prinses remains Prinses - and at the table, that's exactly how it should be.

Also ideal if you are just starting with a beautiful cutlery service and want to expand step by step. Start with a set for 1 person, build it up to a full table. Smart, scalable, and always stylish.
