Especially if it’s vintage!  These vintage stainless steel beauties are mid century patterns, mostly made in Japan.  I love the engraved patterns and when they are mixed and matched, the place setting is delightful!  Did you know that the knife was the first piece of flatware to be invented?  You probably would have guessed that one…

These early and mid century silver plated flatware patterns are also very lovely!   The process of adding a layer of silver, called silver plating, was invented in the mid 1800s in England.   This process has allowed many of us to enjoy the beautiful sheen of silver on our dinner table.

Southern Vintage Table has both stainless and silver-plated flatware available along with our vintage china, glassware and linens.
