Prelude
Sterling Silver Flatware, Silverware by The International Silver Company
Prelude debuted in 1939, and is one of the best-selling sterling silver patterns of all time. Slender handles combine with two floral clusters to create an iconic look that has been imitated often, but no one else has quite hit the mark like the designers at International.

What chest is included with the 46 and 66-piece sets?
We include the Regency chest by Wallace Silversmiths, but you can also apply that cost to a different chest.
What does "HH" mean?
HH stands for "Hollow Handle", which means that the item has been made with a hollow sterling silver handle, and a stainless steel utensil has been inserted into it. Generally, the dinner knife handle is used for serving pieces, and a smaller version is used for the Butter Knife and Butter Spreader.
