I call it silverware, too. It is interesting the different words to describe the same thing. I've heard of cutlery and flatware just don't call it that.
I’ve always had Silverplate for good and stainless for day. It’s always been called silverware. I’m married 55 years and that was the average back then and I feel the average today.I like hearing about different word usages. Cutlery to me is a knife set.
Honestly, I usually refer to it as silverware knowing full well that it isn’t silver even though that’s not the proper term.
Silverware for me too, even though I think I said flatware earlier.I call it silverware, too. It is interesting the different words to describe the same thing. I've heard of cutlery and flatware just don't call it that.
It "disappears" at our house too. I use Hotel by Towle for everyday. It mixes several patterns so everything always "matches" (We've added a few along the way).Lucky you for making it 16 years. Our flatware disappears at an alarming rate. My guess is its ending up in the trash, with dirty paper plates. I'm also looking for good flatware that's in the $50 or less range. We'll replace our nice flatware, when it's mainly DH & me using it. I've learned my lesson, after paying $100+ for multiple sets of flatware that has disappeared.
If you go to the Oneida website to check out what they have, make sure to join the email list. They have pretty regular sales and I was able to save a bundle of money on some replacement pieces.
Used to be - don’t think it is anymore - I believe Liberty Tabletop is the last US flatware manufacturer -Oneida Silverware is also made in the U.S. It was founded in Oneida, NY. I remember my mom getting it when I was a child, saying it's the best. Still have some pieces in great condition.
Oneida is the brand I most recently had before replacing it because it was rusting so badly. I’ve been surprised to read so many people endorsing it because I wasn’t impressed with the quality.Great idea! I'm all in for sales and discounts. I can't wait too terribly long though because mine are starting to rust.
Actually it started in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and moved to Canastota, NY during WWII. It was primarily a factory for army trucks, aircraft survival kits, and jet engine partsOneida Silverware is also made in the U.S. It was founded in Oneida, NY.
It still have factories in North America (not sure if it's still in the US). From Wikipedia:Used to be - don’t think it is anymore - I believe Liberty Tabletop is the last US flatware manufacturer -
