Shell Fruit Serving Spoon

Sometimes referred to as a "Stewed Fruit Serving Spoon", I could only find examples of the Shell Fruit Serving Spoon in two patterns, both by Kirk Stieff.

Primrose by Kirk Stieff


Mayflower by Kirk Stieff (10 1/8 inches)

Nut Picks (Part 2)

This is a simple piece I mentioned earlier, found in most sets. The pieces can be as simple as the Hampton or Cottage examples here or as ornate as the one in the Lily pattern.

Hampton by Tiffany (4 1/2 inches)








Imperial Chrysanthemum by Gorham (4 3/4 inches)

Lily by Gorham (4 3/4 inches)

 Trajan by Reed and Barton (4 1/8 inches)

Cottage by Gorham (4 7/8 inches)

Imperial Chrysanthemum by Gorham

This is one of Gorham's truly elegant patterns that is very feminine. Imperial Chrysanthemum was issued in 1894 and designed by William C. Codman. I am not even going to try to describe the pattern, except to say it is busy with the leaves and buds of the chrysanthemum. You can see the flower in full bloom on the shoulder of some of the serving pieces.
