Madame Royale by Durgin

Durgin introduced Madame Royale in 1897. The design has flowers at the tip of the terminal and a delicate braid outlining the terminal and then down the center of the stem. Some of the serving pieces have ornate decorations of leaves coming down from the shoulder into the bowl that make a quiet pattern into a rather eloquent one.  This makes for a beautiful pattern, typical of a Durgin design.
