Eton by Campbell-Metcalf

Eton was only made by Campbell-Metcalf from 1892-1898. this pattern should not be confused with Wallace's Eton (1903). This design is one of strong scrolls and curves.

Thistle by Blackinton

Once again Thistle is a Blackinton pattern that I cannot find the date when it was introduced. Each piece is decorated with a very ornate and distinctive pattern of the thistle bush, leaves, and flower. It is well carried out and a lovely pattern.

Sweetbrier by Blackinton

I could not find the year Blackinton introduced Sweetbrier. The design of the pattern has several leaves in the terminal and several blossoms and leaves on the top of the stem and then again at the bottom of the stem. It is a beautiful pattern that carries the theme well.
