Wedgwood by International

The pattern Wedgewood was designed by Alfred G. Kintz for International Silver in 1924. Personally, I find the pattern to look very old. The design is elegant and very busy but the detail is minute.

Master Butter Knife (7 1/4 inches)



Gravy Ladle (6 5/8 inches)

Sandringham by Shiebler

George Shiebler introduced the pattern Sandringham in 1895. Most likely named for Sandringham Estate, the country home of the current Queen of England. The most interesting part of the design of this pattern is the three Prince of Wales Feathers at the top of terminal which were the motto of Edward, Prince of Wales (the current Queen Elizabeth's Uncle, whose abdication of the throne lead to her ascension upon the death of her father). But, I digress. It is a stately pattern.

Oyster Fork (6 1/8 inches)



Flat Handle Butter Spreader (5 inches)



Dessert Spoon  (7 1/8 inches)

Sorbet Spoons

Of all the frozen dessert spoons I have mentioned, the Sorbet Spoon has been neglected. We have the Ice Cream Spoon, Ice Cream Fork, Ice Cream Slicer, Ice Cream Servers, Sherbert Servers, and Sorbet Servers. The unique thing about this piece is the edge of the bowl which tends to be scalloped in most patterns.

Essex by JB and SM Knowles (5 1/2 inches)



Chantilly by Gorham (5 5/8 inches)

 
Wave Edge by Tiffany  (5 1/4 inches)

Richelieu by Tiffany

Tiffany introduced the pattern Richelieu in 1892. It is in the Rococo Revival style. The pattern was designed by Paulding Farnham, who also designed their St. James , Colonial, Florentine, Marquise, and Renaissance patterns. Farnham was a significant designer at the house of Tiffany. The "Era of Paulding Farnham" followed the "Era of Edward C. Moore".


Pastry Fork (6 1/8 inches)



Ice Cream Fork (5 3/4 inches)




Ice Cream Server (11 1/2 inches)





Small Sugar Sifter (5 3/4 inches)

Bread Fork

Not to be confused with the Toast Serving Fork, the Bread Fork may look similar (and may indeed be the same piece in some patterns), however it tends to be a smaller piece. 


Old Colonial by Towle (7 1/4 inches)

Lily of the Valley by Whiting

Geneva by Campbell Metcalf

Campbell-Metcalf introduced Geneva in 1895 and it is a lovely pattern with a design of scrolls. Although the design is simple and the overall effect is quite elegant.

Ice Cream Fork (5 1/4 inches)



One Tine Butter Pick (6 inches)



Solid Almond Scoop (5 1/2 inches)

Exposition/Tomato by Tiffany

You say Tomato, I say Exposition. Whatever one calls this lovely Tiffany pattern, it was designed by Olaf Wilford. I cannot find a year or any more information about this pattern or any other patterns designed by Wilford for Tiffany from any of my Tiffany sources. Every reference for the pattern does mention both names. So the mystery lives on.

Pastry Server  (12 1/8) inches


Solid Casserole Spoon (9 7/8 inches)

Pierced Banana Server

An expensive piece, ranging over $1000, the Banana Server comes in two styles - Pierced (as shown here) and Solid. It is a lovely large piece in any pattern

Strasbourg by Gorham (9 7/8 inches)



Florentine by Gorham (10 1/8 inches)

Jelly Knife (Part 4)

I have posted earlier about the Jelly Knife but they come in two distinct sizes, varying in length from 1 to 1 1/2 inches in difference. Sometimes the difference in design is quite subtle, for example Strasbourg below. Then others, like in Lancaster, the larger knife resembles more the shape of the Jelly Server, although it is still called the Jelly Knife.

Empire by Whiting

Whiting introduced its Empire pattern in 1892. The stem is thin which gives the pattern a very delicate and feminine look. There is detail on the tip of the terminal and then nothing more until the shoulder at the bottom of the stem. Still, it is elegant in its simplicity.
