A particularly dingy, unremarkable spoon with a deep gash in it turned out to be monogrammed with my initials! It is my baby spoon from Tiffany that my mother dropped in a food processor.

I would imagine Moma would have some of his work in their collection.<BR/>I recently bought his iconic 1950's silver tea service,a tea and coffee pot, milk jug and sugar bowl all on ebay and you have inspired me to photograph them and post about his work.homemadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687186836203044795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-75745882835611235392009-04-13T08:35:00.000-07:002009-04-13T08:35:00.000-07:00LOL - you were supposed to wait for me before star...LOL - you were supposed to wait for me before starting the polishing party. <BR/><BR/>seriously, there are few things more satisfying than cleaning the silver.Scot Meacham Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546913131597435214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-76601880267808232282009-04-13T07:50:00.000-07:002009-04-13T07:50:00.000-07:00Last week while at the Moma, I once again took gre...Last week while at the Moma, I once again took great comfort in showing the objects of domesticity on display to my daughter. An Olivetti typewriter, a telephone with a rotary dial and some silver pieces that inspired me to bring on the polish. Also inspired by a few found hours from attending a book signing a day late. Nonetheless, pleasure is derived from merely a cup of tea, a lost hour found and a book. That and a good sleep never hurt anyone.pve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-58920254374967780272009-04-13T06:26:00.000-07:002009-04-13T06:26:00.000-07:00Your pieces are beautiful...people think it's such...Your pieces are beautiful...people think it's such a bother to have to handwash crystal and polish silver.....I think "how lucky am I to have these lovely things and have the day to stay home a clean them?"
