Marie Louise by Shreve

Shreve Silver introduced their Marie Louise pattern in 1915. I can only assume this pattern was named in honor of Princess Marie Louise of Britain, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Upon the annulment of her most unhappy marriage to Prince Aribert of Anhalt, she never remarried but spent the rest of her life supporting her charities and being a patron of the arts. 

This pattern should not be confused with Towles' 1939 pattern of the same name.
