    They are lovely, aren't they?? So elegant. I love the rippling shape of the edges, too. Can't have been easy to make!!

    Wasn't easy. They were covered over in tarnish and old polish-remnants. Took a lot of careful rubbing with a cotton-bud to clean them so I could even read them. Establishing the date-letter was particularly difficult. I kept thinking it was an 'E', but no 'E' that I found exactly matched it. I later found out it was a Gothic 'F'.

    Gothic 'F' = 1880.

    Hahaha!! You're not the only one who was envious... :p

    GITCHER FILCHIN' MITTS OFFA MAH SILVER! Ain't for eatin'!
