You could donate them. I am sure someone would put them to good use.
No, silver will go bad if water sits in it. Taje them to a silver or gokd shop and aell them.
You could use tray as jewelry tray, or catch all on the dresser. Cups would look great w/ silk flowers, on display.
I will take them off your hands just let me know how to reach you. Dee
Depending upon your decorating style, you could display them on an end table, sideboard, or inside or atop a breakfront.
I know what you mean, I have some packed away. I like the catch all tray idea, but them you have to keep it shined up. The best suggestion for me is to donate them. That's probably what I'll do.
Are they Sterling? Keep them it’s worth the effort to keep them shining. But if they are not they still have some charm when they are tarnished, especially with flowers in them.
The trays from the larger ones are great for a birth day sheet cake . I would find a place to keep them.
I’ve seen the cups and sugar bowls filled with rocks and soil with beautiful succulents inside.
