Strawberry Forks - Two Tines

Strawberry Forks come in two different types - the two tine variety and the three tine variety. Here are some examples of two tine forks. As you can tell Strawberry Forks are shorter forks (generally 3 3/4 to 4 3/4 inches). The tines are very long and slender and almost take up a third of the utensil. The long tines make for an elegant piece.

More Cocktail Forks. Sometime these are confused with Cherry Forks and Oyster Forks. Cocktail Forks vary in length. These examples alone are from 5 1/2 inches to 6 3/4 inches. Note the three different styles in the King George pattern.

Adolphus by Mount Vernon 



Fleur de Lis by Alvin (5 1/2 inches)



The pattern of King George has 3 different cocktail  forks in the pattern, long tine, short tine, and wavy tine.

Heraldic by Whiting

Heraldic by Whiting introduced in 1880 should not be confused with Heraldic by Durgin (See November 8, 2010). Ironically,this pattern also features a knight in the design. A knight's helmet is embellished in the pattern on the handle. Just under the helmet, there is a blank shield shaped area that is suitable for monograms.

Chocolate Spoon

Only the Victorians and their sweet tooth would have a sterling silver Chocolate Spoon at each place, in addition to the 5 piece place setting dedicated to the decadent desert. From I can glean from my research, this piece was designed to serve hot fudge, melted chocolate (including white chocolate) when passed for desert.
