Revere by International

This Revere pattern by International dates back to 1898. There are also references to "Revere" patterns by Mount Vernon, Schofield, Shiebler, and Gorham however I could find no examples of these. Durgin also has a Revere pattern that I will post on on a later date. 

As for this pattern, it is an exquisite example of the Rococo style with a particular emphasis on special detailing on the bowls and tines of the pieces. Unlike most anything that bares the Revere moniker and refers to the austere Colonel days, this pattern does no such thing.

Rigato by Buccellati

A newer pattern, Rigato was introduced by Bucellitia in 1970. The straight lines of the stem capped by a horizontal rectangular terminal make for a clean modern design. Note the unique take on the serving pieces.

Stanton Hall by Onieda

Although these days, Oneida is only known for fairly inexpensive stainless flatware, orginally the company produced some lovely sterling patterns. Here is one example, Stanton Hall they introduced in 1951. It was designed by Grosvenor N. Allen. Besides this pattern, Allen was also known for his work on Castle Rose by Royal Crest and Ribbon Rose by Hallmark.
