Fine Silverware Is A Family Treasure.
My grandmother used to call all the grand, family dinners such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, real cutlery events.
What she meant was there was silverware you used everyday and then there was silverware.
My grandmother had a love for fine cutlery and chinaware.
And every fine occasion to sit down and use it was a big deal.
She especially liked to bring out the sterling steel flatware from Arthur Price to go along with her antique porcelain plates and cups.
Placing all your best things for others to use at special times added to the appeal of the meal.
We still have, and continue to use, all her settings.
