Georgian was introduced in 1889 and is still in production. It was originally called "Grecian", probably because of the Greek column design that is the base feature of the pattern. Roses are used throughout the pattern and a floral swag can be seen elegantly draped across the top of the column, as if in celebration. The detail in Georgian is unique and displayed on both sides of the handle.

"Georgian" has something for the fans of several eras--Victorian, aesthetic, art nouveau, and classical. It has proved very popular also as a silver plate pattern.
ReplyDeleteTo me this pattern shows strength with the column motif on the stem but has a feminine side shown by the floral bow that hangs below the terminal and other floral decorations. I agree it should appeal to many eras without offending any.
ReplyDeleteAgree. This pattern defies being linked to any one era or motif. There's something there for everyone. It's one of the first place settings I chose when I began collecting.
