<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kisa, post: 1009225, member: 12355&quot;]Hi Everyone,</p><p>I am new to this forum.&nbsp; So I should start by introducing myself.&nbsp; I am absolutely not a knowledgeable antique collector.&nbsp; I always favored modern design.&nbsp; I have finally come to the point in my life, when I am beginning to buy some &quot;nice&quot; table settings.&nbsp; I stuck with the modern for the china (Haviland Illusion) and crystal (Rosenthal Lotus Blossom). I had to move to ebay to find sterling I could afford. So as of late I have come to appreciate the antique and vintage styles.&nbsp; I now have a full dinner service for 12 (Oneida King Cedric - not really antique, but not modern either) and a Victorian fruit/dessert service in sterling and MOP.&nbsp; After spending a few weeks in Sicily, where we ate fish every night and were always given fish knives, I have a hankering for fish knives.&nbsp; I have run across gorgeous, affordable sterling pieces, but they are monogrammed.&nbsp; What is the consensus on using flatware with monograms that do not match my own or any ancestors?&nbsp; Thanking you all in advance for you opinions and wisdom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
