Victoria by Dominick and Haff

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.

Marlborough by Reed and Barton

Marlborough is a traditionally designed sterling pattern introduced by Reed and Barton in 1906 and just recently discontinued in 2011. I say "traditional" in that it shares a design similar to Chantilly and Buckingham by Gorham, Champlain by Amston, or Lady Windsor by Wallace in that they are simply elegant without being simple or -God Forbid- plain in their design.

Ice Cream Fork Part 2

The original "Spork". I posted earlier on the Ice Cream Fork.  A bowl with tines on the end. This may be one of those pieces you found and asked yourself, "What the hey?" Another Victorian marvel.
