Classic elegance and simple style combine in this 65-piece Crescendo II stainless flatware set, equally suitable for formal occasions and the everyday table. Impress guests with this service for 12 at a buffet when entertaining or set at a family dinner of any size with the 5-piece place settings. The stately design features carved ridges along the length of the handles, banded at the neck for a finished touch. The matching hostess set of six pieces meets a range of serving needs with style. Crafted from 18/0 stainless steel for corrosion-resistance and lasting luster, the dishwasher-safe set never requires polishing. The twelve five-piece place settings include a dinner knife and fork, salad fork, soup spoon, and teaspoon. The hostess set includes two serving spoons (one pierced), a cold meat fork, butter spreader, and lovely shell-shaped sugar spoon. A handsome wooden storage caddy provides partitions to separate pieces and features a framed edge for an attractive display. The larger Continental sizing offers a balanced heft that feels comfortable in the hand. This favorite pattern from the Legacy collection of Reed & Barton, America's premiere silversmiths since 1824, carries a 25-year warranty. --Roberta Cruger
