Louis XVI by Dominick and Haff

Dominick and Haff introduced their Louis XVI pattern in 1925. (Reed and Barrton, Gorham, Louis Gantereau, Shreve Silver, and Mount Vernon also had patterns by that name.)

Orleans by Michael J. Fina

Continuing with Orleans, this is the one introduced by Micheal C. Fina in 1934.  This pattern is fairly unique in that due to the nature of the heavy design, most of the pieces are hollow handle. And all the examples I could find were serving pieces, so this may be a "limited" pattern made up of only serving pieces. Tiffany has several such patterns.

Sauce Ladle Part 3

As I have posted earlier on Sauce Ladles, they vary greatly. Here we have an example of a square cup (Japanese), a deep cup (Royal Danish), and with a side spout (Palm Beach). Size also varies, these 4 examples alone vary from 5 7/8 inches to 7 1/2 inches. Still  whatever the variation this is a beautiful very useful piece.

Portland by Gorham

Gorham's 1904 Portland pattern may seem a bit ordinary at first blush. However, when given a closer look one sees the detailing of the vine gently making its way up the stem and around the terminal. Then the three blossoms at the top of the terminal, and another at the base of the stem complete the design for a lot of detail with little fuss.
