I have posted on  Butter Picks in general earlier, and also on One Tine Butter Picks.Here are some fine examples of more One Tine Butter Picks, an often misunderstood piece in the silver drawer.

Mount Vernon by Lunt (6 1/2 inches)

Cherry Blossom by Blackinton

Blackinton (now known as Towle) had a series of floral patterns, Azalea, Daisy, Lotus, Sweetbrier, and Thistle. Cherry Blossom was designed by Sidney Keller and introduced in 1903. It is an intricate pattern with a realistic design of cherry blossoms on the terminal with stems and leaves leading to more blossoms on the stem. Cherries flank the shoulder and the edge of the bowl is decorated with a leaf motif.
