If you are still unsure of the authenticity of a spoon, take it or a picture of it, along with all measurements, weight and hallmark descriptions to an appraiser for a professional opinion.

It all started with vintage rose patterned china.<br />Last fall I found a whole box of assorted vintage silverware at the Goodwill. It was a wonderful find. Most will be used for decorating but I've reserved a few pieces to make chimes (tea pot chimes) this spring.<br />Hope you will pop over for a visit.<br />Will visit again soon.<br />ElizabethThe Porcelain Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181032354447286034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-46705872526410999702014-03-19T21:41:21.203-04:002014-03-19T21:41:21.203-04:00Somewhere I have a set of silver teaspoons that be...Somewhere I have a set of silver teaspoons that belonged to my grandmother.

I used to pack it away and use it only on special occasions, but I decided life is too short to not enjoy your valuables. Now I use them everyday and it gives me great joy. It does sadden me to see how many beautiful pieces are melted down. All that exquisite craftsmanship being destroyed!

Also love teapots, trays, anything silver really. Melted down??? Can't believe someone would even think such a thing. I would have scooped them up too.I find most of mine at garage sales so I can't wait until the warmer weather.Tuula @ Thrifty Rebel Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774298996059905890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-81898746658163598382014-03-19T11:35:49.203-04:002014-03-19T11:35:49.203-04:00I just love old silverware.

I have stashes of it displayed throughout my house. But I also use it to eat with. I took my favorite pieces, in the best shape, and cast out from my home every piece of stainless. I love the casual look of the mix&match beauties.Cheryl in Wisconsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724939947607431433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-52205817396572790742014-03-19T07:47:32.441-04:002014-03-19T07:47:32.441-04:00Way to go, Donna!

I've looked for items many times and found nothing. There are so many interesting things you can do with these gems. You always manage to hit the mother lode and that's a good thing.Gail @Purple Hues and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563652510435031148noreply@blogger.com
