Dominick and Haff introduced Victoria in 1901. The pattern was designed by Gilbert L. Crowell, Jr. Other patterns designed by Crowell for Dominick and Haff include Mazarin, Cupid, and Basket of Flowers. Victoria has a classical design with a pattern on the terminal and decoration down the edge of the terminal and the stem. It is not as elaborate or eloquent as Mazarin or Cupid but much more lovely than some of the horrendous patterns to come out of the 50's and 60's.

And hard to find! I waited 6 years for teaspoons. Have never seen a butter spreader for sale. Never seen a 5 O'Clock teaspoon and I've been looking since 1991. Serving pieces are also extremely rare and hard to find. Oddly enough, from the jeweler's marks on many of the pieces, a lot of this was sold around the Philadelphia area. Why? Not a clue.
