James of York... I can also make a set of feast gear for you. As far as the plate, bowl and mug go, there are several ways to go about it. I found an excelent wooden plate made from teak at one of those Pier-1 places. Assumedly you can find one at a local Pier-1 or look-a-like store. The bowl and mug can be easily found at a place that makes/sells hand thrown pottery, and this style is good for most periods that I'm aware of. There is also the possibility of using a wooden bowl and mug to go with the plate. The re-enactor supplier "Smoke and Fire" does a good buisnes in simple, sturdy feast gear, up to and including horn cups and spoons. Give them a try.

As far as a forged set of cutlery, I can also make a set if you like. It will be somewaht crude, but I am not by any means a great smith. If you are interested, let me know here and I'll write an email to you, hopefully with the pics.

Another good place for cups, plates, ect is from The Pillaged Village. I've purchases several things from them and they were very pleasant to work with.

Oh, I almost forgot I am still interested in seeing pics of your utensils. What I am looking for is 2 of each- 3 prong forks, spoons and meat knives. Nothing ornate but something you could tell was made in 10 minutes and wont cut up your mouth. ;0)
