The markings on the back of Oneida stainless flatware typically indicate the brand, the pattern name, and the type of stainless steel used. Common markings include "Oneida," the specific pattern name, and terms like "18/10," which refers to the composition of the stainless steel, containing 18% chromium and 10% nickel for durability and corrosion resistance. These markings help consumers identify the quality and design of the flatware. Additionally, some pieces may have a "stainless" mark, confirming they are made from stainless steel.
