Bon Bon Tongs Part 3

I have posted earlier on small tongs, such as Sugar Tongs and Sugar Cubes Tongs. Here are more Bon Bon Tongs. The sizes on these three tongs tend to overlap. I recently bought a pair of, what I thought were, Sugar Tongs, only to learn they were actually Bon Bon Tongs. Not that it mattered, I was happy with them. 

Stieff Rose  (3 inches)


Fairfax by Durgin (3 1/2 inches)



Frontenac by International (3 1/2 inches)


Lucerne by Wallace (3 1/8 inches)


 

Ivy by International

This gorgeous pattern, Ivy, was introduced by Gorham in 1911. There are trails of Ivy on the terminal and on the shoulder of the serving pieces. 

Cold Meat Serving Fork - Medium Size (6 inches)


Short Handled Pickle Fork (5 3/4)



Short Handled Olive Spoon (6 inches)

Antique Ivy or Ivy by Tiffany

One of Tiffany's older patterns, Antique Ivy also known as Ivy was introduced in 1870. Personally, I do not care for etched patterns because I think the designs are weak and I prefer heavier, more detailed designs. The terminal here is blank, suitable for engraving, with ivy trailing down the top half of the stem. From that point on there is no adornment at all. 


Pierced Table Serving Spoon  (8 3/8 inches)


Small Jelly Spoon (6 7/8 inches)
