Sorry for bothering you but look at this cutlery organizer that looks like an egg.

Cool! I took over my brother's silver plated flatware replacement service, so I am probably more interested in the flatware than the organizer. Thousands of flatware patterns! Endlessly fascinating!

I have a pie server in this pattern, called Assyrian Head, first made in the year 1887 by 1847 Rogers.

@mindstruggle What's hard is to choose ONE of the cool old patterns to collect, and not allow yourself to get distracted by ALL the cool patterns.

Mine is mostly Rat-tail silver

@emmasfriend That is sterling, unlike the older Rogers patterns, which were silver plated flatware. Very nice plain pattern! Tasteful, and goes with every pattern of china!

I understand that the tail was originally to strengthen the bowl of a spoon to the handle. If true, practicality became simple beauty

@emmasfriend Good design is often like that. Form follows function but also beauty grows from excellent form!
