Think of a set of glasses that are more subject to changes compared with metal spoons and forks: you start with 12, then they break, one tonight, another one tomorrow, and so on. For how long would you consider them a set and not just spare glasses?
I'd say, it is the job of the museum to define that. The CRM just 
recommends that there is a definition. It can be individual. It can have 
fuzzy transitions. The principle lays in the purpose of the concept: do 
you keep the glass as souvenir, as archaeological evidence, or for 
drinking. The glass as such has no identity.

opinions?

best,

martin
