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.

New Vintage by Durgin

New Vintage was introduced by Durgin in 1904. It is a fairly straightforward pattern with a scallop shell adorning the top of the terminal and a bunch of grapes draped beneath it  surrounded on the sides by (what looks to me like) acanthus leaves wrapped around the edges. The stem is simple but elegant and the serving pieces I found were not particularly fancy.

Salad Fork (6 1/4  inches)

 

Fruit Spoon (5  3/4  inches)

 

Old Style Pickle Fork (6 1/8 inches)

An elegant piece, the Lettuce Spoon has a long thin stem and often has  lovely decoration on the bowl. Not found in every pattern.
