I do not want them melted I want them used and treasured but it shows the value of these beautiful antiques. 
the set is in great condition with only scratches from use. the set hasn’t been cleaned for the photos to show the true condition. infact they probably haven’t been cleaned in 20 years so once polished they will look stunning. This has been in my family since it was new and is not a salvage find. set comes as shown and does not include any storage boxes or case. there are no monograms on any pieces.
