Old Style Salad Fork

I honestly cannot tell any difference, short of the name, between the Old Style Salad Fork and the regular Salad Fork. Some of the old style have three tines, some have four. The length is comparable. They are not found in many patterns. Old Newbury by Towle actually has two sizes of the Old Style Salad fork (go figure). Whatever the case, here are some examples.

Old Colonial by Towle (6 3/8 inches)







Old English by Towle ( 6 1/8)



Old Newbury by Towle  (7 inches) and small size (6 1/4 inches)


San Lorenzo by Tiffany (6 7/8 inches)


Versailles by Gorham (6 3/4 inches)

Pea Server (Part 3)

Although I have posted two other times on this piece, the Pea Server is unique in that the design of the bowl itself is a little different in each pattern, making it a very interesting piece. Also, it is found in most sterling patterns.

Stieff Rose by Kirk Stieff (8 inches)



Repousse by Kirk Steiff (9 1/8 inches)



Morning Glory by Alvin (9 inches)




Birds Nest by Gorham


Chrysanthemum by Tiffany



Dirkson-Filegree by Dirkson (7 1/4 inches)

Blossom by Dominick and Haff

Blossom was introduced by Dominick and Haff in 1905. A beautiful ornate pattern with a flower motif on the terminal, flowers and leaves on the stem, and various floral decorations on the shoulders on the different pieces. Some of the serving pieces are particularly lovely. The lettuce fork is one of my favorites.
