So your saying they cannot make a quality set of silverware smaller in scale for a more comfortable feel for all tastes in the finer things in life.

@gravyandtaters- Have you contacted the companies directly to ask? Perhaps they do, but you won't get a definitive answer on these boards.

Thank you , I will do that,But it would be nice if QVC would sell a similiar item on their show in comparison to the "well made" set.

Silversuperstore has LOTS of sets of every size and weight. They give you a lot of information about all of the sizes, materials and weights and is a great resource to find what you are looking for. They have all the major brands and many others. Fortessa may make something you would like.

Also, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Tuesday Morning all have of lots of things you might look at.

Good luck!

The luncheon size is scaled down. Manufacturers produced this size years ago in very popular lines. I imagine Chantilly, for example, has a luncheon size and every piece type known to mankind.

I am referring to vintage sterling silver. I don't know what gives in the world of silverplate.

I have Reed and Barton, but from at least 10 years ago. No idea what they said about size, but I like it. It's comfortable, has never bent, stained, pitted, etc.

Agree. Good silver is weighty

Are we talking thickness or length? I personally don't like Continental size, which I assumed was longer pieces.

I don't care for it either. It's like eating with a pitchfork!

I love big, heavy, substantial silverware. To each her own I guess.

My issue is not the weight, but the European sizing. We are using the salad forks as dinner forks in my Lenox set that came from Costco several years ago. The big forks I just use when cooking.
