My mom had some Lusterware, porcelain with that metallic finish, kinda ocrish color. But not a complete set, just odds and ends. I didn't keep those. Silver is a lot of care and prefer to keep it only for display. Beverages don't taste the same. Porcelain is preferable. And I won't discuss weak coffee as it might make my stomach turn.<br />Enjoy your sets, whether for display or service. Just don't hide them!!<br />:)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-32690771757655895572012-06-10T07:18:58.756-04:002012-06-10T07:18:58.756-04:00HA, evidently not.

Everyone seems to be getting rid of theirs. Now I always thought I would love to have one but the silver ones are too pricy for me and I have more stuff now that we can dust. They are beautiful however and although we got several silver items 52 years ago no tea set. I have the one pewter pot and I cannot keep that shinny.<br />QMMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721708092323894355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-11305110044692348962012-06-09T15:56:27.224-04:002012-06-09T15:56:27.224-04:00Sadly all this silver is too much for show too.

I had bought a cake to serve to them but as I was preparing things I suddenly realised we didn't have a tea pot! I felt a real sense of shame : an Englishman who makes tea by dropping a bag into a mug.
