Olympia by Watson

Another Watson pattern designed by Eustace Crees & Charles S. Court introduced in 1903, Olympia is elegant in a stately way with scroll motifs decorating the bottom of the terminal and the shoulder of each piece. The top of the terminal fans out with a three point design.

Crumb Knife (Crumber) Part 3

The red headed step child of the sterling flatware serving piece world, the Crumb Knife or Crumber.  Unlike his more elegant cousins who grace the buffet, he is forced to come out and  clean the linen table cloth between courses. But when all is said and done, this Cinderella utensil is often the most beautiful piece in the drawer. I posted earlier on this piece.
