There is something about service ware that I love. You all know that I love my sets of dishes. But I also love to collect serving pieces. And yes, I have way too many of them. I collect covered vegetable dishes, compotes and gravy boats. I don't know why because we never used any of them growing up. But another thing that I tend to collect is a cream and sugar set. I know I have at least 10 sets. Some are parts of sets of china, some stand alone. I don't use them as much as I do my other serving pieces but I do enjoy pulling them out when I have company who wants coffee.
This is a silverplate set that I got from Grandmother's estate. I really love the border design on these and even though they're plate, they polish up very nicely. She never used them. At least not in my lifetime. They sat in her big china cabinet in a plastic grocery bag. I'm not sure if that delays the tarnishing process by putting them in plastic bags, but that's what she did. And, no surprise, I do that too with some pieces. LOL But I have loved them for years and am blessed to have them. Would anyone like cream or sugar with their coffee? Pull up a chair and have a cup!
