Fish Server (Post 2)

A second look at the Fish Server. This is one of larger pieces in a pattern. It is also a piece that is not used as much these days since most hostesses don't serve whole large fish to their dinner parties of twelve. But, we can dream!

Oyster Forks (Part 4)

As I have said before in my many posts on Oyster Forks, although they are small, to me these are beautiful delicate pieces in any pattern. And, personally as a lover of oysters, a most useful piece. And, unlike many "fork" place pieces in patterns, these tend to be a little "unique in each pattern. I have a friend who only collects sterling silver oyster forks.
