    I see most D & H pieces with these characters are described as “labors of cupid”. Would these musicians fit that description also?
    Spent an hour polishing, looks so much better.

    Thanks komo, wasn’t too bad, I let the polish and cloth do most of the work. Can’t imagine polishing all the nooks & crannies though.

    Thanks Judy! It’s super thick & heavy considering all that open work/piercing.

    He does, but now it squeaks - out of grease!

    Wouldn't call these labors, just cupid musicians. But maker could have name for design different from one I would have assigned.

    Don't know whether you saw this on Replacements. Tray matching your piece and they are calling it Labors of Cupid too. Haven't found any flatware with these musicians, but since it was a multi-motif pattern, they might have been reserved for use on fancy servers.

    Thanks! Nice match!


    Just noticed that one is described as hollowware where as mine is solid, base and top.

    In the silver tableware world, anything that is not "flatware" is referred to as "hollowware" whether it is hollow or not. ;)
