[B]Oh, my goodness - private label is la creme de la creme! You are soooo lucky!!
Except that the knife blades are silver (plate, I suppose?). My paternal grandparents got married in 1909, before stainless steel. I was glad I had the silver, since I got married in 1980 when silver and gold prices were sky-high. My sister got our mother's flatware, Prelude, which I've never much liked.
She also got our paternal grandmother's Noritake (circa 1920), service for 12, which Mother never, ever took out of the boxes they'd been sent in--M didn't like Japanese china. (My sister and I didn't even know it existed until we read the list of who got what.)
....As for me, I have my own collection of Fiestaware (vintage--not that heavy new stuff).
