The Story Behind this Blog

Being from the South, Silver is a very big part of my life. It doesn't have anything to do with wealth. Although those with more money - old money, tend to have more of it. New money tend not to spend their money on Silver. They do not have the appreciation for the warmth of the metal, the beauty of the patina, the story it tells of the generations past who have used it. A true southern girl comes of age when she chooses her silver pattern, long before she chooses her mate. If she is smart, she chooses that of her mother, grandmother, or favorite great aunt who in their benevolence will pass their silver on to her. It is the pieces in those sets, the pieces on our tables, along with the pieces we find in the corners of the displays in antique stores that prompted me to start this blog. They are beautiful, they are odd, but what are they, and what in the hell do you do with them?

Place Spoons

A year or so ago I did a post on all the Knife Place Pieces and all the Fork Place Pieces. Here I will attempt to name the Spoon Place Pieces. According to etiquette, one would never have to deal with all these pieces at one meal.

However, unlike with the knives and forks, there are so many, I was not going to bore you with an example of each. Hopefully, I either have posted (or will post) of an example of each, so if you are curious you can search for it on the blog.

Here is a list of the possible Place Spoons - not serving mind you, simply place spoons.

    I have 12 spoons (old) by Whiting pattern Lily. They look like a fruit spoon but at the end of the shaped bowl, the top is flat instead of pointed. If I could email you a pix, would be happy to.
