Silver silverware


Explanation:
Gosparski je, gotovo sigurno, Dubrovački. (ili iz okolice Dubrovnika, malo bogatiji pribor. Stari, pretpostavljam)

Mislio sam da je dva puta silver u izrazu previše, ali na linkovima se vidi (ima ih još mnogo) da se često koristi.

Što se tiče izraza \"Gosparski\", mislim da bi bilo dobro reći \"Silver silverware from Dubrovnik\" ili nešto slično

neutral  Vesna Zivcic: silwerware obuhvaća i posude i plitice, a beštek je izraz koji se odnosi na pribor za jelo
