Melon Spoons

Here are examples of Melon Spoons. You will notice most of them have a blunt end on the bowl.

Individual Berry Fork

I have posted on Strawberry Forks and Cherry Forks but not Individual Berry Forks, so here are some examples of Berry Forks. These would be a place piece.

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

Stieff Rose by Kirk Stieff (4 3/4 inches)

Georgian by Towle (5 inches)

Lily of the Valley by Whiting (4 3/4 inches)

Raleigh by Alvin (4 3/4 inches)

Chantilly by Gorham

I have not posted on this pattern because it is the most popular sterling pattern ever. Even though it was originally introduced by Gorham in 1895, Chantilly is still going strong. It is even the pattern used on Airforce One. I am the third generation in my family to have it. (I would not have chosen it except I knew choosing it would pretty much guarantee I would be in line to inherit both my mother's and my grandmother's sets of silver. When it comes to sterling, I have no pride.) Of course, like most women of my age, until I started researching for this blog I had no idea there were so many lovely sterling patterns out there. But I digress.

So, I give the pattern, it's due.
