We recently displayed a set of spoons and used an acrylic mount made for the purpose.  Each spoon had a pair of mounts to hold at top and bottom.  Whoever builds your cases can probably make them.  I can share our vendor if you need it.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has some recommendations for mounting cutlery vertically in a display. I volunteer at a small museum outside of Chicago, and we are preparing an exhibit on China. The China pieces are displayed on shelves and/or plate mounts in display cases (which feature a thick, wooden backing that we can drill into). We recently added some cutlery items as well. Some are resting on shelves, but we would like to "hang" some next to individually mounted plates. They are considering using strong double-sided tape, but I'm concerned about the safety with using an adhesive. Does anyone have any advice on mounts designed to hold silverware?

Thank you,
Pat
