Acanthus by International

International's Acanthus pattern has a fairly modern design considering it was introduced in 1917. Samuel Stohr is the designer. Stohr also designed Pansy (1909) for International which is a much more ornate pattern and Chesterfield (1914).

Chesterfield by International

Also designed by Samuel Stohr, International introduced their Chesterfield pattern in 1914. (Don't confuse this with Gorham's Chesterfield pattern of 1908). Of course Stohr also designed Pansy and Acanthus for International.

Irene by International

Irene was introduced by International in 1902. I particularly like the detail of the design at the bottom of the stem. Even though we had entered the Edwardian Era by 1902, Sterling Flatware was still in its prime.
