Lasagna Servers

Lasagna Servers are a relatively new piece to patterns. The spatula part is almost always stainless. But it is still a nice piece to have. So. if you ever wondered, just what that piece is, perhaps it is a Lasagna Server.

Patty Server

I don't have a clue. I will continue looking to see if there is a Victorian or Edwardian definition for the word "Patty" that differs from our use of the word. Certainly this Patty Server is not designed for serving hamburger patties. Whatever its intended use, it is a beautiful piece. I found the piece in two Towle patterns.

Hizen by Gorham

The Gorham Company's multi-motif Hizen pattern was introduced in 1880 and patented in 1893, and features a multi-motif incorporating the Japanese influence popular at that time. The design is an aquatic theme using sea life together with foliage and fruit to put together a fantastic world. The definitions given in some of the silver catalogs rival those given to some of the floats in the annual Festival of Roses Parade in Pasadena each New Years day. The detail of each piece is stunning. If you keep looking you will continue to find something you didn't see before. It may be a dragon fly, or a strawberry or a bird in addition to all the sea life. The pieces are truly three dimensional.
