Long Handled Sherbert Spoon

Here are some examples of Long Handled Sherbert Spoons. Looking back on my earlier post on Sherbert Spoons, I see that these are not any longer than those, however the bowls are smaller and not as fat, giving the stems a longer profile. Just my guess as to why these (of the same length) are referred to "long".

King William by Tiffany (aka as Antique)

King William was first introduced by Tiffany as a pattern named Antique in 1870. Later the name was changed to King William. It is as simple a design as a pattern can get.

Hampton by Towle

Unlike the previous patterns by the same name, Towle's Hampton is more ornate. It was introduced in 1892. The stem and terminal are decorated with a design of scroll work.
