Bridal Rose by Alvin

Alvin's Bridal Rose dates back to 1903 and is one of my all time favorite patterns. The design is very distinct and bold with a rose on the terminal tip and other roses and vine on the stem. There is a nice place for a monogram on the terminal.

One of the neat smaller place forks in any pattern. The Oyster Fork  (not ot be confused with the cocktail fork) in each pattern tends to be a little unique. I have posted on these several times before because they are so plentiful and so interesting.

Fish Serving Set

The Fish Serving Set is one of the larger serving sets found in the older patterns.The knives range from 9 to 12 inches in length, the forks range from 7 1/2 to 10 inches in length. As with most of the serving pieces, they are usually ornately decorated. Often the blade of the knife will have a waved edge.

Various Chocolate Pieces in a Pattern

I have posted about Chocolate Spoons and Chocolate Muddlers previously. Oh, but should it be so simple. Upon further research, I have found that there can be more than one size of a Chocolate Spoon in a pattern. To complicate matters, they just don't have "Large" Chocolate spoons and "Small" Chocolate spoons. Some patterns have "Large" and "Small", some have "Long" and "Small", some have "Large" and "Long", or any combination of the above. (And some just have one size.) Of course don't forget the "Muddler" which is found in most of the older patterns. To bring clarity to this or maybe muddle the subject even more, here are some examples of the different Chocolate pieces in several patterns.
