Virginiana by Gorham

The pattern Virginiana was introduced by Gorham in 1905 during the Edwardian era. It is a lovely and ornate pattern of blossoms, leaves, and vines. The serving pieces are particularly beautiful with detailed floral designs including cut outs to make effect even more outstanding.

Virginia Carvel by Towle

Towle introduced Virginia Carvel in 1919.  Harold E. Nock designed the pattern for Towle. Nock was also know for designing Towle's Lady Constance, Lady Mary, Rambler Rose, and Candle Light. Virginia Carvel is a fairly simple pattern in more of a colonial style.

Contessina by Towle

Towle introduced its Contessina pattern in 1965 and it was designed by John Prip. The pattern is reminiscent of the Stieff repousse patterns but not quite as elegant and in a more modern flare. The design does not cover the entire stem. Still for the 1960's it is a lovely pattern.
