Those of you with long memories will remember when Martha Stewart featured some of our "finds" in her article (Glints of Genius, pp 154-9, November 2008) about collecting bright cut silver. This item is of a higher quality than anything which is pictured there. If you're looking for a truly elegant serving piece to use when the bride cuts the cake, stop looking and send us an email!
