Sugar Shovel

Another sugar serving piece, the Sugar Shovel is not a common piece and therefore one you may not recognize. It is not found in many patterns.

Chipped Beef Fork (Part 3)

As I mentioned in my earlier post on Chipped Beef Forks, they come in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. And, often patterns will have some combination of the three sizes. Here are some more examples.

Arabesque by Whiting

Arabesque was issued by Whiting in 1875 and was designed by Charles Osborne. The pattern has an elaborate design of a griffon carved on the terminal around a blank medallion suitable for engraving.   The stem in straight lines met two thirds of the way down with a square followed by a graceful design that flows onto the shoulder of the piece. Some of the shoulders and bowls have elaborate carvings on them
