Essex by JB and SM Knowles

An exquisite pattern by JB and SM Knowles, Essex was introduced in 1889. The design includes a heavy pattern of scrolls and floral motif.

Sorbet Spoon (5 1/2 inches)




Teaspoon  (6 inches)

New Tipt by Gorham

Gorham introduce New Tipt in 1870.  The pattern has an interesting design with a motif rising from the base of the terminal up into an otherwise flat blank oval terminal. The stem is very slim. 


Large Solid Pie Knife (8 5/8 inches)




Pierced Sugar Serving Ladle (5 3/4  inches)



Fork (6 7/8  inches)



Small Fish Serving Fork (8 3/8 inches)

Number 2 by Duhme

Number 2 by Duhme is a unique pattern. It was introduced in 1885. Personally, I would think the odd design of the terminal which goes down a good third of the stem would be uncomfortable in one's hand.

Fork (6 3/4 inches)




Large Cheese Scoop 



Gumbo Soup Spoon (6 5/8 inches)

Sucket Fork

I have found random references to a Sucket Fork, but can only find one example of this utensil. The piece's purpose is for eating "Sweet meats". 

Lap over Edge (Insect/Foliage Motif) by Tiffany





This piece below, which looks incredibly similar, in Persian also by Tiffany, is referred to as a "Combination Olive Fork and Spoon". 





And, even though both of these examples are by Tiffany, I could find no reference to either such a piece in Hood's book on Tiffany. 

San Lorenzo by Tiffany

A stately pattern, San Loranzo was introduced by Tiffany in 1916. It is one of their lesser known patterns. From the terminal to the shoulder  the stem is a straight line gently getting smaller as it reaches the shoulder. The stem has a simple rectangular border around it and the terminal features a nice blank crest suitable for monogramming. 

Grapefruit Spoon (5 3/4 inches)


Individual Salt Spoon  (2 1/4 inches)




Individual Salad Fork (6 3/4 inches)

Florence by Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon introduced its Florence pattern in 1905. The design has a beaded edge around the terminal, simple lines down the stem, and a beaded edge as the stem joins the shoulder. The tip of the terminal has an embellishment that I can only describe as a "flouish of feathers". 

Salad Serving Spoon (8 3/4 inches)






Cream Soup Spoon (6 3/8 inches)

Cheese Fork

Another cheese serving utensil. The Cheese Fork can be found in most patterns. It usually has two tines.


Versailles by Gorham (5 1/2 inches)



Louis XV by Whiting (5 1/8 inches)



Francis I by Reed and Barton (6 1/4 inches)



Les Six Fleurs by Reed and Barton ( 5 3/4 inches)

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.

Gumbo Soup Spoon (6 7/8 inches)



Flat Handle Butter Spreader (6 1/8 inches)



Pie Server (10 inches)



Solid Serving Fork (9 inches)

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".


Saratoga Chip Server (9 inches)



Preserve Spoon (7 3/4 inches)



Short Handle Olive Spoon (6 1/2 inches)


Teaspoon in Marquise Engraved (5 3/4 inches)

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.
