Larkspur by Wallace

Wallace introduced their Larkspur pattern in 1939. It is a simple pattern on first blush, but further review shows a rather interesting border around the edge that includes small blossoms.

No.80 by Wallace

Wallace's No. 80 pattern dates back to 1909. It has been my experience that many of the more interesting patterns by a silversmith are not given some fancy name, just a number. This pattern is a prime example of this. The Bon Bon spoon in this pattern is an exquisite piece. (IMHO)
