All silver is vintage and in good to excellent vintage condition and perfectly serviceable for its intended use. Liz's competitive prices do not reflect a lowered quality in silverware condition. Liz sells only gently used ware that she herself would be proud to serve her guests. All ware is shipped to you polished, ready to use. One exception:
Never-used sets are shipped unpolished to preserve original patina. When you buy this ware you'll be the first to shine and use it. All images are of the actual pieces offered, not stock photos. The photography may not be up to professional standards but Liz strives to represent every piece fairly by the means available to her. Flaws are documented in the descriptions. Should some flaws be missed they will be noted and you will be advised.
Silver Plate, Sterling, or
Stainless Steel with name of
Manufacturer is always shown
above the pattern name on every inventory page.
There are no monograms on Liz's silver except where especially noted.
About The Years Shown on The Individual Patterns:
The
year number following the pattern name is the
First Year of Production, or
Introduction Year of that pattern. It is
not necessarily the year in which the pieces offered for sale were made. They could have been made in any year during the production run of this pattern. Almost all patterns Liz offers are now
discontinued, therefore they are considered
vintage. If the exact year of discontinuation is known to Liz, it is so noted. If a pattern is still produced, as with the Swedish pattern
Franska Liljan, f.ex., it is also noted.
Liz offers only vintage flatware made in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, but not
China and
no modern reproductions of vintage patterns now made overseas.
