European or Continental Salad Fork

The European or Continental size Salad Fork is a bit larger than the normal individual dinner size, yet usually has the same design and shape as the dinner size. This size is found in very few patterns.

No. 11 by Gorham

For some reason I have found that some of the prettier patterns by any silver companies are not their "named" patterns, but rather those with just a number that most of us never see. No. 11 by Gorham (1885) is an excellent example of this.
