All that glitters: Two auctions offering silver and crystal

Memo to the slow-food movement. Nothing complements fine dining so much as glittering silver and crystal. The At Home sale by James Adam in Dublin and RJ Keighery's biggest-ever single-day auction in Waterford offers bags of both. Both auctions are on Tuesday (February 24). 

Pride of place at James Adam is a 24 place Sheffield silver-thread pattern canteen from around 1947. It weighs over 446 troy ounces in total, excluding the stainless steel blades and sits in its own walnut lowboy chest-on-cabriole-legs. The estimate is €10,000-€15,000.
