I posted earlier about the Almond Scoop, a beautiful piece, very similar to the design of the pierced Bonbon Scoop.

Fish Server

Often referred to as a Fish Knife as I mentioned in an earlier post, the Fish Server is designed to work with the Fish Fork to gently serve the delicate meat of the fish without breaking it up.

Apollo by JB and SM Knowles

First introduced in 1892, Apollo is a refined pattern with a beaded stem topped by a floral motif at the bottom of the terminal which is surrounded by decorative work. I'm not sure where the inspiration for name came from, but a pretty pattern none the less.
