From the Soup Course to the Coffee Cup

Of all the pieces in a flatware collection, spoons demand the most variety. A spoons manufacturer in China that supplies restaurants and hotels at scale needs to cover everything from the broad, deep bowl of a soup spoon to the dainty proportions of a coffee spoon — and every piece in between must share the same design language. At Stelmont, that consistency is built into how we work. All five of our spoon categories are stamped, polished and finished in the same Jieyang facility, under the same quality management system.

We've supplied stainless steel spoons wholesale to restaurant groups in the US and Europe, hotel chains across the Middle East, retail brands on Amazon and supermarket private-label programmes since 2005. Every shipment includes full FDA and LFGB food-contact compliance documentation — so your customs clearance is straightforward whether you're importing into New York, Hamburg or Dubai.

OEM and ODM services are available across all five categories. Custom bowl shapes, handle lengths, logo engraving and branded packaging can all be specified from a single development brief. If you're building a signature flatware programme, we handle the entire process from concept to container.

--About Our Spoons

Five Spoon Styles,
One Factory

Wider and rounder than a dinner spoon, with a deep bowl engineered for soups, broths and bisques. Our soup spoons are a staple order for hotel restaurants, cruise line dining rooms and catering operations running multi-course menus. The round bowl profile is available in both the British round-bowl style and the more oval Continental version — specify your preference at enquiry.

Dessert Spoon

Coffee Spoon

Sized between a teaspoon and a dinner spoon, the dessert spoon is a versatile piece that handles everything from panna cotta to sorbet. Our dessert spoons run 17–19 cm with a shallower bowl and a slimmer handle profile than the dinner spoon, giving the piece the refined look appropriate for a dessert course. Frequently ordered by hotel fine-dining rooms and patisseries that want a purposeful piece rather than a generic compromise.

The smallest spoon in the range — compact, elegant and purpose-built for espresso, demitasse and after-dinner coffee service. Our coffee spoons run 10–12 cm with a petite bowl and slender handle. Frequently ordered by specialty coffee chains, hotel lobby bars and fine-dining operations that serve espresso or Turkish coffee as part of a formal service. Custom embossing and engraving are popular in this category for brand identity.

— Length: 13–15 cm; standard & long-handle profiles

— Grade: 18/10 or 18/0 stainless steel

— Highest-volume spoon — bulk pricing available

— MOQ: 500 sets per pattern

— Length: 10–12 cm; petite oval bowl

--Common Questions

Spoon Sourcing — Answered

What buyers typically ask before placing their first wholesale spoon order with a manufacturer in China.

What is the difference between a teaspoon and a coffee spoon?

Standard MOQ is 500 sets for any catalogue spoon style. Custom OEM designs requiring new tooling start at 1,000 sets. For trial orders ahead of a larger commitment, smaller quantities are often possible with a modest surcharge — contact our sales team to discuss your volume and timeline.

Yes — and most buyers do. Dinner spoons, soup spoons, teaspoons, dessert spoons and coffee spoons can all be consolidated into one sea freight container, keeping per-unit shipping costs low and simplifying your import documentation. We match patterns across all five categories so your programme stays visually consistent.

We offer mirror polish (Ra < 0.2 µm), satin, brushed and PVD colour coatings — matte black, champagne gold, rose gold and gunmetal — all applied over 18/10 stainless steel base. All finishes are assessed under standardised lighting before approval and are rated dishwasher-safe up to 85°C. PVD finishes are particularly popular for coffee spoons and hotel programme branding.

All Stelmont spoons comply with US FDA 21 CFR and EU LFGB §30/31 food-contact standards. We also provide REACH compliance documents, California Prop 65 declarations and ISO 9001 quality management certificates. All documentation ships with every order — whether you're importing into the US, Europe, the UK, Australia or the Middle East.

Yes. Laser engraving, acid etching and embossing are available for logos, monograms and text on the handle back or bowl. Supply artwork in vector format (AI, EPS or SVG). One-time setup costs are credited against your first order. Logo engraving is especially common on coffee spoons and hotel dining programmes.

A teaspoon (13–15 cm) is the standard size used across tea, coffee and general F&B service — the most versatile spoon in any programme. A coffee spoon (10–12 cm) is smaller and more refined, typically paired with espresso cups and demitasse. For most hospitality operations, both are needed: teaspoons for the dining room and coffee spoons for the espresso service.
