I missed an opportunity when I was young to get my Grandmother's sterling silver flatwear. It looked a lot like this Antique Baroque, but ofcourse a lot more ornate.I always wanted to get something like hers and when I saw this flatware and the price I jumped at it. The quality is good, and I like the service for twelve,because I have a large family. I am looking forward to using it during the holidays. The set also comes with five serving pieces. I washed them in the dishwasher as soon as they arrived and they cleaned beautifully. I am very happy with my purchase..

Pros: The weight and balance is good
Cons: The design could have been a little more detailed.
