Alfred G. Kintz designed Empress for International and it was introduced in 1932. The design has Art Deco lines. Kintz also designed Wedgewood pattern in 1924 and co-designed Springtime in 1935, both for International. Sugar Tongs (4 1/4 inches) Cold Meat Serving Fork (7 3/4 inches)
These are some examples of the Toast Serving Fork, which I have posted on earlier. It should not be confused with the Toast Server which is a different piece.
