FINALLY, A KITCHEN TABLE!

FINALLY, A KITCHEN TABLE! I have been scouring the earth (craigslist, thrift stores, used office furniture stores, and the curb) for a kitchen table for the last 4 months. I finally found something I liked. I know it's not modern, but it gets along well with the Saarinens.

Art Deco Silver Plate

I found these three items at goodwill today. They are silver plated brass. The tea/coffee pot and sugar bowl are not marked.

I am fairly close to the Brass City (Waterbury CT). These may have come from there?
