Bread Fork

Not to be confused with the Toast Serving Fork, the Bread Fork may look similar (and may indeed be the same piece in some patterns), however it tends to be a smaller piece.

Geneva by Campbell Metcalf

Campbell-Metcalf introduced Geneva in 1895 and it is a lovely pattern with a design of scrolls. Although the design is simple and the overall effect is quite elegant.

Exposition/Tomato by Tiffany

You say Tomato, I say Exposition. Whatever one calls this lovely Tiffany pattern, it was designed by Olaf Wilford. I cannot find a year or any more information about this pattern or any other patterns designed by Wilford for Tiffany from any of my Tiffany sources. Every reference for the pattern does mention both names. So the mystery lives on.
