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?

Cake Saw (Part 3)
Here we have the Cake Saw, a piece I posted on earlier. This is a large piece that takes its cake seriously. Do not confuse this with the Wedding Cake Knife which is actually longer (in most patterns).

Fish Server
Often referred to as a Fish Knife as I mentioned in an earlier post, the Fish Server is designed to work with the Fish Fork to gently serve the delicate meat of the fish without breaking it up.

Sherbert Servers
Remember Sherbert Forks, one of the place forks, well this is the serving piece, the Sherbert Server. Do not confuse this with a sorbet server. (Just as you would not confuse sherbet with sorbet. I'll show them later.) However, I could only find examples in two patterns. The Sherbert server has a sharp side to slice into the sherbert.
