Auction Silver Plate: A Dozen Beautiful Pieces

I bought a bunch of silver plate pieces from an online auction and there are some really beautiful pieces in the bunch. I’m sharing photos and not a lot of talking! Sort and sweet.

This group of silver plate pieces was $15. Not bad although no one seems to want silver plate anymore. I don’t understand that. There are so many things you can do with the pieces and you have to admit that many of them are works of art.

Just look at the etched details on the pieces and that patina, wow.

 

I’m not sure what some of the pieces are and there obviously are som parts and pieces missing. I bet I can come up with some cool repurpose ideas for these.

The next group of silver plate pieces cost $7 for the lot.

The piece on the back left in this photo has some beautiful details. On several of the pieces there are places that originally held spoons for serving but they are missing.

 

I also bought this box which is filled with flatware, mostly silver-plated. I don’t know why they chose this box for a holder.

 

This is all the silverware pieces from the box.

There were some real beauties in there. I have no idea what to do with all of these pieces. Any ideas for me?

I told you it would be a short and sweet post today. As always, thanks for being here, Kathy
