Description:

Once upon a time Grandma's silverware was a thing to be cherished and used only for special occasions. Nowadays you find it on auction sites for pennies and at the thrift store for a few bucks. Its a shame modern silverware has no personality.

This swap is to send your partner one vintage silver plated eating or serving utensil. By vintage I mean something at least 30 years old. It can be anything from a pickle fork to big soup ladle. You can go to the Second hand store or dig in your kitchen drawer if you want.

The photo above gives an example of old silver plate. The things are taken from my kitchen drawer but some pieces are not longer food safe they will be turned into art. Part of these got the plating removed by dishwasher soap but would still make good art. I'm gonna turn one into a mobile and another into a bug.

Please make sure your utensils are food safe that is no peeling plating or corrosion. Discoloration and staining are okay you want it to have a patina.

Please include your swap-bot name and the swap info.

Any questions, let me know Thanks!
