Pate Spreader

To complicate things - the Pate Spreader actually looks more like a knife than the Pate Knife, which I posted on earlier.  These pieces are  found in many of the older patterns but can easily  be confused with the butter knife.

Jelly Cake Server

When I first posted on the Jelly Cake Server, I was under the impression that this was a server that could be used to serve cake or jelly. I was wrong. There separate servers for Jelly  (See Jelly Servers) and a separate Cake Server. The Jelly Cake Server is its own piece and what a lovely piece it is. It has the shape of the pie server with ornate decorations on the blade. Here are some examples.

Poinsettia by Wallace

Another holiday themed pattern, Poinsettia was designed by Wallace. Although the pattern has been discontinued, I could not find the date it was originally introduced. Also, all the pieces I found were hollow handle and were serving pieces.
