Petit Four Fork (Part 3)

This piece can often be confused with the Asparagus Server, but it is not. The Petit Four Fork that I posted on earlier is its own piece. And a lovely piece it is.

Faneuil by Tiffany (5 7/8 inches)



San Lorenzo by Tiffany (5 7/8 inches)



Hamilton by Tiffany (6 inches)



St. Dunstan by Tiffany (6 inches)

San Lorenzo by Tiffany

A stately pattern, San Loranzo was introduced by Tiffany in 1916. It is one of their lesser known patterns. From the terminal to the shoulder  the stem is a straight line gently getting smaller as it reaches the shoulder. The stem has a simple rectangular border around it and the terminal features a nice blank crest suitable for monogramming. 

Grapefruit Spoon (5 3/4 inches)


Individual Salt Spoon  (2 1/4 inches)




Individual Salad Fork (6 3/4 inches)

Individual Caviar Fork

The Individual Caviar Fork is another piece that can easily be confused with a Salad or Fish Fork, however it is usually shorter by as much as a half inch or more.

Chrysanthemum by Tiffany (5 3/4 inches)



St. Dunstan by Tiffany (5 7/8 inches)



Marquise by Tiffany (5 5/8 inches)

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)


San Lorenzo by Tiffany (6 7/8 inches)


Versailles by Gorham (6 3/4 inches)

Sets of Silverware

To get an idea of the prices of complete sets of sterling flatware patterns, here are some examples. All these prices include a chest. As a disclaimer, these are just random prices I have come across in various places. I am in no way, a silver appraiser, but the prices will give you an idea of the retail value of some of patterns. And, the range varies from $1,000 to almost $50,000.
