ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 11-24-2012 08:40 AM I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day. We visited our daughter and her family in her new home and were joined by the rest of the family. We now all sit around the same table as she has a larger dining room. I would love to see your pictures. IP: Logged

Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-24-2012 06:37 PM Oh, good! I was hoping we'd see people's tables. That one's very welcoming! Here's (a terrible flash photo) of ours, with the dessert sitting on the table to get it out of the way while I finish dealing with the turkey etc. in the kitchen. China: Minton Gold Rose, from my paternal grandmother Forks: Gorham Cottage, Wallace Grand Colonial, and some fussy Reed & Barton pattern from the 1930s, I think, all from my maternal grandmother. Knives: Two different art nouveau patterns from mat. grandma Pastry forks: A traditional-looking pattern from late-19th C. Germany Teaspoons: Assorted American patterns, mostly from the 1860s-80s. Gravy boat: An unmarked Philadelphia coin silver creamer from the 1820s? Napkin rings: Mostly mid-19th c American sterling or coin silver Salts: Assorted IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-24-2012 06:47 PM Gosh, everything is way too small to be visible! Oh well. The oranges sitting on upside-down water glasses are actually place cards. They have people's names written on them. Maybe this will be more visible? IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 11-24-2012 10:49 PM Jersey I am not sure what the name of flatware is, but it is the same as you have shown. I have always called it the fiddle-head pattern and we purchased it some years ago and I guess my daughter also bought some. We were looking for some more of it recently and did find it by a different manufacturer – slightly different size but close enough that I cannot tell the difference. Polly, great idea using the creamer for a gravy boat. I cannot tell how you put the names on the oranges – was it with cloves? IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-25-2012 01:13 AM It was with a sharpie marker. Cloves would have been MUCH classier. IP: Logged
jersey Posts: 1203 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 11-25-2012 03:27 PM The treble clef was was apparently made with those who have a musical bent. BTW who is the manufacturer on your original set? Also, I'd like to thank Scott for posting the picture of the flatware. Polly, I'd stay with the sharpie, cloves are a tad more expensive to say the least. I must say both settings are very inviting. Can't wait for Christmas. Jersey [This message has been edited by jersey (edited 11-25-2012).] IP: Logged
ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 11-25-2012 08:13 PM Jersey, we purchased the original set from Pottery Barn and they have discontinued this pattern. Their name for it was fiddlehead. The next generation of one that looks like the fiddlehead is called treble clef and it is sold in various retail outlets. The pattern, to me, looks more like the end of a fiddlehead fern than a treble clef and I suspect the change is name had something to do with trademarks. The Pottery Barn version is available at replacement houses. We usually go to spice houses to buy cloves in bulk to get a lower price. IP: Logged
