As per decision made in "Sitadevi N. Poddar (Mumbai high court)" , silver utensils used in kitchen or dinning room of the assesse have personal effects and according to explanation of sec 2(14) , moveable assets having personel effect are excluded from definition of capital asset.
No capital asset, No capital gain.

Items of silverware including dinner plates of different sizes, finger bowls, jugs were held to be personal effects. [CIT v Benarashilal Kataruka (1990) 185 ITR 493 (Cal)].
But at the same time, a large number of the same type of silver articles cannot be treated as having been held for personal use and the assessing authority has to find out as to what are the articles which should reasonably be held by the assessee for personal use. [Ramanathan Chettiar R v CIT (1985) 152 ITR 493 (Mad)].

case law to your query is the decision of Benarshilal katurka which is already highlighted personal effects of moveable nature are not capital assets hence not liable to capital gain tax
