The Story Behind this Blog
Being from the South, Silver is a very big part of my life. It doesn't have anything to do with wealth. Although those with more money - old money, tend to have more of it. New money tend not to spend their money on Silver. They do not have the appreciation for the warmth of the metal, the beauty of the patina, the story it tells of the generations past who have used it. A true southern girl comes of age when she chooses her silver pattern, long before she chooses her mate. If she is smart, she chooses that of her mother, grandmother, or favorite great aunt who in their benevolence will pass their silver on to her. It is the pieces in those sets, the pieces on our tables, along with the pieces we find in the corners of the displays in antique stores that prompted me to start this blog. They are beautiful, they are odd, but what are they, and what in the hell do you do with them?

Gothic by Shiebler
George W. Shiebler introduced Gothic sometime between 1890 and 1899. The pattern is a solid heavy design of scroll work. But its weight does not take away from its beauty. This is a lovely pattern. This pattern is vaguely similar but much more ornate than Dominick and Haff's Gothic patter.

Queen Anne Patterns
Here are the patterns (I found) named for Queen Anne. You will notice that each of these is very simple and plain.
Queen Anne by Tuttle (1928)
(Fork) (7 Inches)
Queen Anne by Tiffany (1870)
(Sardine Serving Fork) (5 1/2 inches)
Queen Anne by Dominick and Haff (1910)
Sardine Serving Fork (6 inches)
I also found Queen Anne by Gorham (1870) , Mount Vernon (1914), and Reed and Barton (1910), although I could not find any examples of these patterns.
