Rose by Knowles

Rose or Bug or sometimes Rose Bug was introduced by Knowles in 1881. The design is that of roses on a vine with bugs crawling up the stem all done in high relief. The description does not do the pattern justice. It is a lovely (and unique) pattern. Although, remember, it is not the only insect related pattern. Durgin also has their Bug pattern, I posted on earlier.

Pitcher Spoon - Large

Being called the Pitcher Spoon, I am only assuming this served the obvious purpose of stirring drinks (ie tea or lemonade) in a pitcher. They also come in a smaller size, although I could only find a few examples of those. Some patterns had round bowls and some had oval bowls.

La Fleurette by Unger

Unger Introduced La Fleurette in 1904. And, in Unger tradition, it is an exquisite pattern. The design includes a blossom and leaves at the top of the terminal with another blossom at the top of the stem and a third at the top of the shoulder.
