Our tableware has been lovingly collected over the years.  We have each gone to thrift stores, vintage shops and included pieces that are family heirlooms.  Many of our pieces have gold or silver, and were created long before dishwashers existed.  Due to the delicate nature of our tableware, we ask that you do not clean any of the items after use.  Please simple wipe and pack them gently in the boxes provided.  We will take care of the cleaning.
