Ice Scoops

The Ice Scoop is a piece that is found in many patterns. I touched on this in any earlier post on Ice Pieces. Here are some more examples:


Copenhagen by Manchester (9 3/4 inches)





Anthene/Crescendo by Amston (9 3/4 inches)





Decor by Gorham (9 3/4 inches)







Sixteen Ninety Eng by Towle (9 3/4 inches)





Contessina by Towle (9 3/4 inches)







Monticello by Lunt (9 3/4 inches)

One Tine Butter Picks

An odd piece, but one with a mission, the Butter Pick was designed to pick up a cold pat of butter from a plate. The twist on the end gives it a truly unique look. Most are flat handled and usually can be found in most patterns.

Anthene/ Crescendo by Amstom (6 1/8 inches)





Botticelli by Whiting (6 3/8 inches)





Les Six Fleurs by Reed and Barton (6 1/4 inches)





Lily by Whiting (6 inches)

Sugar Tong

For serving formal tea or coffee, sugar cubes are served with Sugar Tong. And, no, I cannot tell you why they are a "Tong" and not "Tongs". They are vary in length from 3 1/4 inches to 5 inches. Although the handles are beautiful and reflect the notes of the pattern, to me the true beauty of these pieces are in the unique features in the pinchers.

Morning Glory by Alvin

Louvre by Wallace (3 1/4 inches)

Buffet Fork

The Buffet Fork is serving piece designed (obviously) for the buffet.Very similar to the Cold Meat fork but just a bit larger. For example in the Durgin Chrysanthemum pattern the Cold Meat fork is 9 1/4 inches, while the Buffet fork is 9 3/8. The Repousse Cold Meat fork is both smaller and more "scooped" in design that the Buffet fork, so they are separate pieces.

Athene/Crescendo by Frank Whiting (9 1/8  inches)





Provence by Lunt (8 1/18 inches)





Repousse by Kirk (10 1/4 inches)

English Servers

An odd piece, the English Server, is designed to serve everything from steamed vegetables to baked potatoes to sliced meat. It can also be used as aid in slicing small hams and roasts. The piece looks a lot like the silver Baked Potato Fork (See December 2, 2009), but it is a different piece.

Lasagna Servers

Lasagna Servers are a relatively new piece to patterns. The spatula part is almost always stainless. But it is still a nice piece to have. So. if you ever wondered, just what that piece is, perhaps it is a Lasagna Server.
