Alhambra by Whiting

Whiting introduced their Alhambra pattern in 1880. Given "Alhambra" is the palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, one is not surprised to find the design of this pattern to have Moorish tones.

John Hancock by Lunt

Lunt introduced John Hancock in 1911. It was designed by George C. Lunt who also designed Chatelaine (aka Enid) in 1894. To be named for such a distinguished gentleman, the pattern has feminine features such as a ribbon at the case of the terminal. Beading is draped across the top of the terminal below a shell and cornice design that reminds me of the features one would see above the mantle of a very fancy colonial home.  




Teaspoon (5 3/4 inches)


Bon Bon Tongs (3 5/8 inches)


Baby Fork (3 1/2 inches)

Old Dominion by Lunt

Lunt introduced Old Dominion in 1898. At first glance it looks like a modest pattern but when you pay more attention to the detail of the edging around the stem and terminal and the detail on the serving pieces, it is truly a lovely pattern hidden behind such a provincial name.
