La Parisienne by Reed and Barton

1902 designed by Ernest Myers designed La Parisienne for Reed and Barton and it was introduced in 1902. He was also the designer of Reed and Barton's Francis I, often referred to as their flagship pattern.

Personally I think the detailing on the stem of these pieces is the most beautiful of all the patterns I have seen. The design is stunning with a multi motif pattern (each piece is adorned with different flowers).
