“Eight Simple Rules ” Etiquette Bowls

Porcelain bowls — just the right size for serving nuts, ice cream or the other treat of your choice —feature a 1930's scrolled edge and snippets of etiquette taken from a turn-of-the-last-century etiquette book . A set of 8 includes a range of still very relevant table-manner instruction:

• Never explain at the table why certain foods do not agree with you
• Never cut bread, but rather break it, spreading with butter each piece as you eat it
• Never carry away fruits or confectionery from the table
• Never hesitate to take the last piece of bread or the last of the cake; there is probably more
• Never tip back in your chair, lounge upon the table or assume any position which is awkward or ill-bred
• Never praise extravagantly any dish set before you; neither should you appear indifferent
• Never pare an apple, peach or pear for another at the table without holding it with a fork
• Never wear gloves at the table unless the hands for some special reason are unfit.
