Orange Spoon (Part 3)

Sometimes referred to  as the Fruit/Orange Spoon, I have posted earlier on the Orange Spoon with its  gold washed and pointed bowl tip. The gold wash protected the sterling from the acidic citrus juices and the tip helped cut through the pulp.

These four patterns by Tiffany date back to the late 1800's.

Place Spoons

A year or so ago I did a post on all the Knife Place Pieces and all the Fork Place Pieces. Here I will attempt to name the Spoon Place Pieces. According to etiquette, one would never have to deal with all these pieces at one meal.

However, unlike with the knives and forks, there are so many, I was not going to bore you with an example of each. Hopefully, I either have posted (or will post) of an example of each, so if you are curious you can search for it on the blog.

Here is a list of the possible Place Spoons - not serving mind you, simply place spoons.

Nursery Rhymes by Tiffany

A wonderful pattern for children's pieces of sterling. Tiffany introduced the pattern Nursery Rhymes in 1900. The terminal and stem of each piece represents a different traditional nursery rhyme.
