Palmette by Tiffany

Charles B. Blake designed the pattern Palmette for Tiffany and it was introduced in 1947. Although, designed in the late 40's the lines are almost art deco in design. The terminal is decorated with a stylized palmetto motif with straight lines coming down the stem. The shoulder's design reflects the palmetto motif from the terminal.

Marquise / Marquise Engraved by Tiffany

Tiffany Introduced Marquise in 1902. It was another design of Paulding Farnham.  (Who also designed Renaissance , Richelieu, St. James, and Florentine for Tiffany.) This is a fairly simple design with the only decoration being the edging around the terminal and the stem. There is also another pattern which is an engraved variation called "Marquise Engraved".

Queen Anne / Faneuil / Feather Edge / Reeded Edge by Tiffany

Tiffany introduced Queen Anne in 1875. The pattern was a very traditional 18th century pattern. They discontinued the pattern in 1904. Then 1907, they reintroduced the pattern as Faneuil. Hood's book on Tiffany Silver flatware refers to "Queen Anne Engraved", however I can find no other references or examples of that pattern.

There are several other variations of the pattern: Faneuil Engraved (1910), Feather Edge (1901), and Reeded Edge (1937). Of all these patterns, Faneuil and Feather Edge are still active.

Castilian by Tiffany

Tiffany introduced Castilian in 1929. The pattern was designed by Authur Leroy Barney. Barney is probably most well known for Tiffany's Indian pattern which was introduced in 1885. Castilian is a fairly simple pattern for Tiffany and was discontinued in 1996.

Patterns Named "Bead"

It is always interesting to see the variations on a name. Here are several patterns by different companies all with the name Bead.

Bead by Frank Smith (1917) (Large Sardine Serving Fork)





Bead by Whiting (1880) (Bon Bon Spoon)





Bead by Durgin (1893) (Large Lettuce Serving Fork)



Bead by Gorham (Seafood Fork)



Bead by Polhemus (1850) (Fruit Fork)






Bead by Watson (1890) (Demitasse Spoon)

Sorrento by Alvin

 A very ornate pattern with a rich design, Sorrento was introduced by Alvin in 1905. It is most likely a pattern you will not see often.

Cream Ladle (5 1/2 inches)



Claret Ladle (13 1/2 inches)

Intaglio by Reed and Barton

Intaglio is a multi-relief pattern designed by Charles A. Bennett for Reed and Barton and introduced in 1905. Designs on the different pieces include poppies, peonies, wild roses, nectarines, fleur de lis, wild vines, and petunias, making it a very unique and garden like pattern.

Flat Handle Master Butter Spreader (6 inches)





Cream Ladle  (5 3/8 inches)


Lemon Fork (4 3/4 inches)




Sugar Spoon (6 1/8 inches)  

Rose by Knowles

Rose or Bug or sometimes Rose Bug was introduced by Knowles in 1881. The design is that of roses on a vine with bugs crawling up the stem all done in high relief. The description does not do the pattern justice. It is a lovely (and unique) pattern. Although, remember, it is not the only insect related pattern. Durgin also has their Bug pattern, I posted on earlier.

Medium Berry Spoon  (8 1/4 inches)



Solid Bon Bon Spoon  (4 3/4 inches)




Large Cheese Scoop (8 1/2 inches)



Flat Handle Master Butter (7 1/8 inches)

Pitcher Spoon - Large

Being called the Pitcher Spoon, I am only assuming this served the obvious purpose of stirring drinks (ie tea or lemonade) in a pitcher. They also come in a smaller size, although I could only find a few examples of those. Some patterns had round bowls and some had oval bowls.

La Fleurette by Unger

Unger Introduced La Fleurette in 1904. And, in Unger tradition, it is an exquisite pattern. The design includes a blossom and leaves at the top of the terminal with another blossom at the top of the stem and a third at the top of the shoulder.
