Ballet (Silver Rose) by Weidlich

Weidlich introduced this pattern in 1935, initially as Silver Rose, then later changed the pattern's name to Ballet. It has a heavy embellishment of floral blossoms at the base of the terminal and the top of the shoulder of each piece. There is a lovely treatment to the edge of the terminal.

Sherbet Spoons

Why they called "Sherbet" spoons and "Sherbert" servers is beyond me, but they are. I posted on Sherbert Servers earlier. Here are some examples of Sherbet Spoons. Unlike the Sorbet Spoons mentioned in an earlier post, Sherbet Spoons have a round bowl with no scalloped edge.

Wedgwood by International

The pattern Wedgewood was designed by Alfred G. Kintz for International Silver in 1924. Personally, I find the pattern to look very old. The design is elegant and very busy but the detail is minute.
