Berry Scoop

The Berry Serving Scoop is a rare and rather expensive piece. One can find the piece in a few patterns for around $150, however most are priced around $800

Vine by Tiffany (1872) (9 5/8 inches)







Persian by Tiffany (1872) (9 1/2 inches)



Italian by Tiffany (1870) (9 5/8 inches)

Italian by Tiffany

While Tiffany's Italian pattern has the same silhouette as Whiting's pattern of the same name, their pattern designed by Edward C. Moore in 1870 is a bit more ornate.  Moore was also known for designing Tiffany's Richilieu, Japanese (aka Audubon/ Plantation), Saratoga (aka King/ King's/ Cook), Persian, Tiffany (aka Beekman), and Olympian patterns. The Italian pattern consists of a fan and plume as well as other features.

An old pattern dating back to 1880, Whiting's Italian pattern is a simple design of a pointed oval terminal with a spray of ivy bunched at the top of the stem.

Fish Knife

Fish Server

Often referred to as a Fish Knife as I mentioned in an earlier post, the Fish Server is designed to work with the Fish Fork to gently serve the delicate meat of the fish without breaking it up.

Cracker Scoop, Cracker Spoon, and Cracker Server

The Victorian Cracker Scoop is different from the Cracker Spoon in that it is generally a bit larger and the bowl a little deeper. Then there is the Cracker Server, which I can only find in one pattern, which has a flat, spatula bowl. After a cursory look, I think the spoon and the scoop in this utensil is for the same purpose (a rose by any other name). Also, the server falls in this category.

Crumb Knife (Part 2)

More lovely Crumb Knives or Crumbers. The retail values of some of these pieces can be as much as $3,000. Because the pieces are so large, the designers had room for engraving and special work to further the pattern detail, more so than they could on place pieces. For the true artisan, the crumb knife could be their large canvas.
