Litchfield by International

Litchfield was introduced in 1898 by International and like many patterns of the Victorian Era, it is stylist, elegant, and ornate. This was truly the Golden Age of Sterling flatware - so to speak.

Splendor by International

International introduced their Splendor pattern in 1939. For a pattern of the late thirties, this is a very pretty pattern.  It was one of Alfred G. Kintz's many designs for the company. Other International patterns Kintz designed included Empress (1932) and  Wedgewood  (1924) and he co-designed Springtime (1935).
