After that, I can spot it anywhere based on its general shape.&nbsp; The motifs are weird and I just think of it as the pattern with a lot of thin people on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and, multi-motif doesn&#039;t reallly mean mix and match.&nbsp; That implies a choice on the part of the consumer.&nbsp; All the teaspoons have the same motif, all the dinner forks same motif. etc.&nbsp; So if you wanted teaspoons in your set you purchased teaspoons with the teaspoon motif.&nbsp; Subtle difference and maybe just mincing words but mix &amp; match means something different to me.&nbsp; One thing for sure, multi-motif is generally way more valuable than melt weight![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
