Kenilworth by International

John T. Clulee designed Kenilworth for International in 1887. Clulee also designed Stratford for International. A lovely pattern with a rich ornate design on the tip of the terminal that moves into a heavy bead like pattern down either side of the stem. There is a lovely touch at the base of the stem and the shoulders of each piece are edged with a heavy almost brocade like pattern. Altogether, a substantive, yet pretty pattern. One that has aged well.

Egyptian by Whiting

Whiting introduced the pattern Egyptian in 1875. What a neat pattern with the motif of a Pharaoh on the tip of the terminal followed by an ancient looking design on the stem. The bowl of the Vegetable Spoon has what appears to be a design of palm fronds.

Junior Rococo by Mauser-Wendell

Junior Rococo was introduced by Mauser-Wendell in 1896. The pattern is a pretty design with lines resembling those of La Reine by Reed and Barton (1893), Louis XV by Whiting (1891), Old English by Towle (1892), and George III by Frank Whiting (1891). This is the first time I have gone back and found a (slight) design trend within a time frame. And, these are by different companies with different designers. That said, perhaps Junior Rococo is the one whose name more aptly describes the design. It does follow the lines of a Rococo piece of furniture.
