We purchased two place settings of this pattern to "audition" as possible flatware for our lake home. We were concerned that it might (1) be too kiddie-like; (2) be unbalanced and difficult to use; or (3) the fish lips on the spoons might prove to bite. We were overjoyed after just using it for dinner and the following morning for breakfast. It is absolutely beautifully made, very well balanced, not as heavy as our GS handmade flatware that we use at home daily, but by no means a light-weight. And it in no way, shape or form resembles kiddie flatware. After using it for two meals we promptly placed an additional order to complete the set, along with hostess set and dessert spoons. It's elegantly made. You can tell when you hold it that it's well-made, high quality flatware. I can't look at it without smiling, and I love things that make people smile. I'm looking forward to using it in our new lake home."..." Read more
