Cucumber Fork/Server

Cucumber Servers are fairly common in patterns, especially the older ones. However, I stumbled upon what looked like a Cucumber Fork. Upon further research, I learned that in Tiffany patterns, the Cucumber Server has wide tines off the end like a fork unlike other patterns whose Cucumber Servers have a round flat surface with small teeth off the side. This is a unique feature of the Tiffany pieces.

Dresden by Whiting

An old pattern, Dresden was introduced by Whiting in 1896. I stumbled across this pattern and was intrigued by the detail in design. Small flowers and leaves decorate the terminal and stem. The shoulders of the serving forks are lovely. A beautiful pattern that gets more interesting the more one looks at it.
