Ditched the Sterling silverware years ago but I kind of miss it.
My mom has a fancy set of silverware, in a big wooden box that weighs a ton. When I was a kid, she used it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I always hated it because afterwards, it had to be washed carefully by hand. That part didn’t bug me (we didn’t have a dishwasher then anyway). But she was very particular about spreading it out on a cloth to dry and then carefully wiping each one as it was put away. I hated the whole process so much.
She still has the set, it’s in perfect condition. (Actually, I wonder if it’s not sterling? It doesn’t tarnish like the kind my stepmother has.) I don’t have the heart to tell my mother I don’t want it.
Hmmm. Maybe I can figure out just how much care it needs to stay nice. I could see us using it, im ok with handwashing, as long as it doesn’t have to be spread out to dry like that….
