 The Relish Spoon is one more type of pickle condiment utensil. The bowls differ greatly from pattern to pattern, some being plain oval, some being slightly fluted, and yet others pierced.

Old English by Towle

The pattern Old English was introduced by Towle in 1892 and as designed by George P. Tilton. Like another pattern Tilton designed for Towle, Princess, this is an excellent example of a beautifully well balanced design that is elegant without being intimidating.

Here are some more examples of the Old Style Pickle Fork. I have posted earlier on this piece.

Old Style Salad Fork

I honestly cannot tell any difference, short of the name, between the Old Style Salad Fork and the regular Salad Fork. Some of the old style have three tines, some have four. The length is comparable. They are not found in many patterns. Old Newbury by Towle actually has two sizes of the Old Style Salad fork (go figure). Whatever the case, here are some examples.

Old Colonial by Towle (6 3/8 inches)







Old English by Towle ( 6 1/8)



Old Newbury by Towle  (7 inches) and small size (6 1/4 inches)

I posted earlier about the Almond Scoop, a beautiful piece, very similar to the design of the pierced Bonbon Scoop.

Canterbury by Towle (4 3/4 inches)


Georgian by Towle (4 1/2 inches)


Wellington by Alvin (4 1/2 inches)



Old English by Towle (4 3/8 inches)

Patty Server

I don't have a clue. I will continue looking to see if there is a Victorian or Edwardian definition for the word "Patty" that differs from our use of the word. Certainly this Patty Server is not designed for serving hamburger patties. Whatever its intended use, it is a beautiful piece. I found the piece in two Towle patterns.

Chow Chow Forks

Just like their companion, the Chow Chow Spoon (See May 28) , the Chow Chow Fork is designed to serve the relish. The forks are about the same size as the spoons and have 2 tines (at least the examples here do.) I could find references to this piece in a couple hundred patterns, but only 2 pictures.
