Betsy Ross - Serving Spoon

I needed another large non-pierced serving spoon and chose the Betsy Ross for its simple classic design. (It does not look "colonial" to me despite its name, although it would complement most any style flatware.) My old Oneida Community USA pattern is discontinued but still looks as good as when it was bought decades ago. While the Betsy Ross place settings are extra large size, I was pleased that this serving spoon is the same size as my Oneida serving spoons, although this one is a bit heavier. I ordered it during the 40% off open stock sale and I'm very pleased with it. This is a beautiful pattern in Liberty's top of the line collection although very pricey when not on sale. The quality is superb, however, and these are 100% made in USA.

The BEST flatware, period! I've now purchased most of the Liberty Tabletop flatware pieces in the Betsy Ross pattern. I chose the pattern for it's timeless simple design and the feel and weight of it in my hand and in my mouth. The fork tines are sharp enough to stab things without being too sharp. The butterknife is SUPERB....just what I had been looking for, for decades. I had a set of flatware made by Oneida, back when Oneida flatware was made here in the USA, at the same facility that Liberty now operates. My Aunt gave me that flatware for a wedding gift in 1973. I never liked the ornate pattern, but used it for more than 20 years before giving it to my son. It's still going strong, blemish free, in his home.

Happy to rid myself of the old style super ornate pattern, in the early 90s, I then purchased something more to my taste, from a high end, highly regarded company (but sadly, NOT made in the USA). The set of flatware that I had purchased through Bed Bath & Beyond, and paid a handsome sum for, starting getting pit marks, little rust spots, and the finish started flaking off on several pieces. This started happening less than 10 years after purchasing that flatware. It got so bad I didn't feel safe putting in my mouth any more. So, upon discovering that the Oneida flatware factory here in my home state, had re-opened under a new name, and that flatware was again being produced there, I drove to the factory and was welcomed by one of the staff members to…

The Betsy Ross pattern exceeded my expectations. Superior craftsmanship! We will be purchasing all the pieces in this pattern.

Thank you for manufacturing this outstanding flatware in the USA! No more made in China flatware for our family... Again I thank

you for high quality flatware.
