Spinach Serving Fork (Part II)

A while back, I mentioned the Spinach Serving Fork, but I did not give many examples of the piece. Because of its length and design, it can be an odd piece - one perhaps that would not be easily recognized if you were to come upon it in the back of the silver drawer.

Marrow Scoop (Part II)

Marrow Scoops (or spoons). I mentioned this piece last year, but only showed one example. It is odd utensil that we don't have an everyday use for any more. The fatty marrow from cooked beef and lamb bones being seen as a fine delicacy. Hood comments that Tiffany only had this piece in possibly nine of their patterns. The thought being that servants would scoop the marrow from the bones for the diners.

Holly by Tiffany

This festive pattern, Holly,  by Tiffany was introduced in 1895. There is another pattern by Tiffany called Holly and Mistletoe. The difference is slight,  Holly has berries on the stem. However, both patterns are described as "not-full-line" patterns, meaning they are generally just serving pieces. Holly consists of 16 pieces and Holly and Mistletoe, only 6. Pieces in both patterns are both hard to find and expensive.
