Mayonnaise Ladle

A year or two ago, I posted a list of the different types of ladles one can find in sterling patterns. This is the Mayonnaise ladle which tend to be 4 1/2 to be 5 1/2 inches long (with one or two being 7 or 8 inches). 

Buttercup by Gorham (5 1/2 inches)


Charles II by Dominick and Haff (5 1/8 inches)


Douvaine by Unger (4 3/4 inches)




Fleury by Gorham (5 inches)


Oval Twist by Whiting (5 inches)

Escargot Fork

Escargot Forks are few and far between in patterns. I could only find several examples and only photographs of these two.

Trajan by Reed and Barton (5 1/2 inches)




Sulgrave by Mount Vernon  (3 7/8 inches)

Iris by Durgin

Iris by Durgin/Gorham is a fabulous pattern (in my humble opinion) with the rich ornate motif of irises on the terminal with the long intertwined leaves making up the stem. The pattern was introduced in 1900 by Durgin which was later bought by Gorham. An interesting feature is the serving pieces. You will not find them in this pattern. The serving pieces for this "Iris" pattern are included in the New Art pattern by Durgin, which also has pieces listed as "Narcissus", "Orange Blossom", and "Lily".
