Revere by International

This Revere pattern by International dates back to 1898. There are also references to "Revere" patterns by Mount Vernon, Schofield, Shiebler, and Gorham however I could find no examples of these. Durgin also has a Revere pattern that I will post on on a later date. 

As for this pattern, it is an exquisite example of the Rococo style with a particular emphasis on special detailing on the bowls and tines of the pieces. Unlike most anything that bares the Revere moniker and refers to the austere Colonel days, this pattern does no such thing.

Canterbury by Towle

Towle introduced Canterbury in 1893.  The design at first looks simple, but the more you look at it, the more small elegant it is with small details. The beaded edge is interrupted at the base of the terminal with a simple fern design and as the eye follows the line up to the tip of the terminal is looks like a young fern frond ready to unfurl, with a third frond at the very tip. The curling motif is repeated on the the shoulders of the pieces. It is a lovely pattern.

(I have no idea if this is a fern in the design it just struck me that way in trying to describe it.)
