Cake Serving Fork

Cake Serving Forks are rare and not found in many patterns. Most that I could find were in patterns by Wallace, International, Reed and Barton, and Jesen among others. They are very ornate and lovely pieces. Some silver companies will call the same utensil the Cake Serving Fork or Cold Meat fork while others have separate pieces. The Cake Serving Fork tends to have long slender tines.

Preserve and Jelly Spoons

Most patterns had Jelly Spoons in two sizes, both basically of the same shape, often having a shell shaped bowl. Some displayed slightly pointed tips. The larger may be referred to as a Preserve Spoon with the smaller being called a Jelly spoon. But sometimes they are both called Jelly Spoons, just the large Jelly Spoon and the small Jelly Spoon.

A few patterns had Honey Spoons, which were really a jelly spoon with a pointed tip that the manufacturer stated was designed to cut into the honey comb. Other patterns referred to their jelly spoons as Marmalade Spoons. Once again, this was an example of the manufacturers using different names for the same utensil.

Corsage by Kirk

First issued in 1935, Corsage is a Repousse type pattern (meaning "raised in relief") which Kirk was famous for. The pattern features orchids, other flowers, and leaves.
