<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1010082, member: 111&quot;]Welcome Kisa.&nbsp; I&#039;m a flatware junkie (spoons in particular) and am rather fond of monograms, while I try to match them to family names, have no problem with any others, they are sometimes tiny little works af art, and regardless, they add to the history.&nbsp; The old pic below is a pair of Gorham Nuremberg demitasse spoons, would guess that the large monogram is the initials of a couple married on the engraved date of Mar. 28. 1891, the later engraved initials, fit in over the monograms, have the same surname initial, so suppose they were engraved for the next or a later generation - they were thrown in when I bought a nice 12-spoon presentation case because of the &#039;ugly engraving&#039;, and I love them.&nbsp; If you like the fish set, and the monogram isn&#039;t going to bother you personally (your opinion is what matters), then buy it...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]207069[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Would like to compliment you on your table setting choices - King Cedric is very nice, originally introduced in 1933 as a silverplate pattern, reintroduced in sterling in 1949, one of those patterns that goes well with both contemporary and traditional settings, and your china and glassware choices are also quite lovely, simple and elegant.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
