About the pattern
Three boxes, three finishes, no open stock: plain, black satin, rose gold satin, all twenty pieces for four. Dean is bought as a look rather than as a pattern to grow, and the ratings sit lower than the catalog average, mostly from owners who put the coated versions in the dishwasher.
No introduction year is published for Dean. Oneida kept dated records for its silverplate and sterling and did not do the same for stainless, so the honest answer here is a blank rather than a guess. Dating an individual piece is still possible from the marks on the back: see how to identify a pattern.
