"Lace" Patterns

"Lace" is another popular name in sterling flatware. Since the designers would hope their patterns of sterling would resemble delicate lace, it would make sense that they would use "Lace" in the name. Here are a few examples.

Floral Lace by Lunt (1967)
Pierced Tablespoon (8 3/8 inches)



Florentine Lace by Reed and Barton (1951)
Salad Fork (6 1/2 inches)



Queens Lace by International (1949)
Salad Fork  (6 1/2 inches)



Spanish Lace by Wallace (1964)
Salad Fork  (6 5/8 inches)

Spring Patterns

It is that time of year when the flowers bloom and we are reminded that winter has finally passed. "Spring" was a popular theme with silver designers. Here are a few examples.

Breath of Spring II by Amston (1952)
Fork (7 1/8 inches)



Spring Glory by International (1952 ) Designed by Lillian V. M. Helander
Seafood Fork (5 5/8 inches)

Queen Anne Patterns

Here are the patterns (I found) named for Queen Anne. You will notice that each of these is very simple and plain.


Queen Anne by Tuttle (1928)  
(Fork) (7 Inches)




Queen Anne by Tiffany (1870)
(Sardine Serving Fork) (5 1/2 inches)




Queen Anne by Dominick and Haff  (1910)
Sardine Serving Fork  (6 inches)



I also found Queen Anne by Gorham (1870) , Mount Vernon (1914), and Reed and Barton (1910), although I could not find any examples of these patterns.
