This silverware was in my Grandmother's house (my Mom has it now), and we used it almost every Sunday. Which meant the minimal place settings (fork, spoon, knife) had to be hand-washed, dried, polished, and laid back in their special case after each evening meal. And of course, on holidays, the entire contents of the silverware case was let out, serving pieces and all, polished, washed and dried, and complete place settings put upon the table - by me and my younger brother (yes!) and sister. For whatever else true silverware might be worth, that family participation was well worth it. I learned to treasure every piece.
With this pattern you cannot go wrong. It's elegant, simple, easy to use and maintain, but at the same time gives you that connection with history. It works with just about any table setting that's not just unabashedly casual. jenna
