Majestic by Alvin

A multi-motif pattern introduced by Alvin in 1900. A truly majestic pattern for lack of a better word. With the detailed design on the front and the back on the pieces.


Asparagus Server (9 1/4 inches)

Soup Ladle (12 3/4 inches)

Large Chocolate Spoon (4 3/4 inches)

Solid Salad Serving Fork (9 inches)

Cracker Scoop

Earlier I posted about different Cracker utensils. Upon further research this becomes a little complicated, but what about the Victorian era and their silver wasn't. Remember the Saratoga Chip Server I posted about earlier?  If the piece in the pattern is called "Cracker Spoon" but is pierced, chances are it is really the "Saratoga Chip Server". Some patterns renamed the piece as the "Cracker Spoon" in later years and sometimes it is just referred to incorrectly. That said,  here are examples of the Cracker Scoop with a solid bowl. Its purpose was to scoop oyster crackers (or other small crackers from a larger bowl) that would be served into someone's soup.
