Napkin Clips Part 2

I posted on these lovely and unique pieces a while back. 

Francis I by Reed and Barton (2 1/8 inches)









Monticello by Lunt (2 inches)



Golden Agean Weave by Wallace (2 1/4 inches)



Madam Jumel by Gorham (1 1/2 inches)

Madam Jumel by Whiting

Madam Jumel was introduced by Whiting in 1908. And for those who do not recognize the name, Madam Eliza Jumel was quite the controversial figure of her time. She started off as a cleaning girl in a brothel, managed to marry a French wine merchant. They lived in France since she was frowned upon by the New York elite. He died then she moved back to America, married former Vice President Aaron Burr, whom she divorced in 1836 on the date of his death. She went on to live to the age of 90 and died in 1865. Now that is a life worthy a sterling pattern!

Large Casserole Spoon (9 inches)



Fork (6 7/8 inches)





Nut Pick (4 3/8 inches)





Short Handled Olive Spoon (6 inches)

Sherbet Spoons

Why they called "Sherbet" spoons and "Sherbert" servers is beyond me, but they are. I posted on Sherbert Servers earlier. Here are some examples of Sherbet Spoons. Unlike the Sorbet Spoons mentioned in an earlier post, Sherbet Spoons have a round bowl with no scalloped edge.


George and Martha Washington by Westmorland (5 1/2 inches)







New King  by Dominick and Haff  (4 3/4 inches)



Monticello by Lunt  (5 inches)





Madam Jumel by Whiting (5 inches)

Mustard Spoon (Part 3)

The Mustard Spoon looks more like a ladle. I have posted on this piece earlier.

French Provincial by Towle (5 1/4 inches)



Marlborough by Reed and Barton (4 5/8 inches)



Versailles by Gorham (5 inches)



Madam Jumel  by Whiting (4 7/8 inches)


Washington by Wallace  (4 5/8 inches)

Jelly Cake Server (Solid) Part 2

More examples of Solid Jelly Cake Servers. I have posted on the Pierced variety of these earlier and also on Jelly Cake Servers in general.

Madame Morris by Whiting (8 7/8 inches)

Louvre by Wallace (7 7/8 inches)

Victoria-Old by Watson (7 1/8 inches)

Madam Jumel by Whiting (8 7/8 inches)

Preserve Spoon (Part 2)

Like many of the condiment utensils, I have listed Preserves Spoons in an earlier post. Their bowls tend to be larger and rounder than Jelly Spoons.





Lily by Whiting (7 1/2 inches)




Love Disarmed by Reed and Barton (8 inches)

English King by Tiffany (7 1/8 inches)

Frontenac by International (7 3/4 inches)

Madam Jumel by Whiting (7 5/8 inches)

Individual Salt Spoon

I posted on the Master Salt Spoons earlier. Here are the Individual Salt Spoons that would have been part of each place settings. They are the smallest piece of any pattern, measuring as small as 2 1/2 inches. They can be found in most patterns, especially the older ones. I think they are neat in that even in their size the intracity of the pattern in show in detail.
 

Imperial Chrysanthemum by Gorham (2 1/2 inches)


Luxembourg by Gorham (2 3/4 inches)

Madam Jumel by Whiting (2 3/8 inches)


Bridal Bouquet by Alvin (2 3/4 inches)


Repousse by Kirk Stieff (2 3/8 inches)

Spinach Serving Fork (Part II)

A while back, I mentioned the Spinach Serving Fork, but I did not give many examples of the piece. Because of its length and design, it can be an odd piece - one perhaps that would not be easily recognized if you were to come upon it in the back of the silver drawer.

Bridal Rose by Alvin (7 1/2 inches)

Madam Jumel by Whiting (6 3/4 inches)



Decor by Gorham (7 3/8 inches)



Heraldic by Whiting (7 1/2 inches)

Burgundy by Reed and Barton (7 1/4 inches)

Georgian by Towle (7 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.

Athene/Crescendo by Whiting (7 1/4  inches)





Candlelight by Towle (7 1/4 inches)





Champlain by Amston (7 1/8 inches)





Lansdowne by Gorham (7 1/2 inches)





Madam Jumel by Whiting ( 7 1/2 inches)





Trajan by Reed and Barton (7 1/4 inches)





Violet by Whiting (7 1/2 inches)
