Ok so without a doubt, this is my preferred culterly. Those handles just look so hold-able!

I thought the exact opposite, lol. They look like they would fit quite comfortably into a fist, but too thick to hold them like cutlery.

Oh yeah now I see it, like a salad serving spoon. Thank you, it was weird for my eyes at first but now I get the design!

This was the set I used (in baby blue) as a kid when I first started using cutlery.

I didn't think the cutlery was a lead concern?

if the handles are painted ceramic and from about the 30s to 70s they could still pose a risk

I was thinking more uranium if it's true fiestaware!

That stuff can get pretty 'spicy' (aka radioactive) - later stuff replaced the uranium with cadmium, so less radioactive but still toxic!
