Rose by Mount Vernon

There are at least 175 patterns with Rose in their name (Wedding Rose, Wild Rose, Tea Rose, Rose Bud, just a few examples) and 7 alone simply named "Rose". That said, Mount Vernon's Rose, which they introduced in 1910, exhibits a wonderful use of the Rose motif. There is a rose in full bloom with buds at the end of the terminal, leaving a nice area suitable for engraving. Then the top of the stem is adorned with another rose blossom with leaves and the vine trailing down the stem to the top of the shoulder. This makes for a beautiful romantic piece, typical of the Edwardian period.

Princess by Shiebler

Shiebler introduced Princess in 1874. The terminal has a radiant fan like pattern surrounded by an area of small vines and leaves. The stem is decorated with a thin thin line that leads to the top of the shoulder where one finds another radiant fan. The pattern is stately but simple. At 139 years old, it has aged well.
