Charles II by Lunt

Not to be confused with the Charles II pattern by Dominick and Haff I posted on earlier, this Charles II pattern was introduced by Lunt in 1934. And, unlike the other pattern which was designed by Gilbert Crowell, Frederick W. Koonz designed Lunt's pattern. Koonz also designed American Victorian and Modern Victorian for Lunt.

The design of this pattern consists of fruits and flowers at the base of the terminal and the top of stem. The terminal has an open area suitable for engraving. The embellishment at the bottom of the stem and on the shoulder is elegant and substantial. This is truly a beautiful pattern.

Lady Wynn By Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon introduced Lady Wynn in 1912. This is a different pattern with a chalice and embellishments that have an imperial look to it. There is a shield on the terminal suitable for an initial. The design on the bottom of the stem and the shoulder follows the imperial theme.

Chapel Bells by Alvin

J. Russell Price designed Chapel Bells for Alvin and it was released in 1939. It is a very simple pattern with (what I can see as) a motif of leaves in two slim lines going down either side of a straight terminal. The stem continues with a line on either edge. If you look at the modern simplicity of the Bon Bon spoon, you can see how the design is no longer one of the elaborate Victorian or Edwardian periods.

Rose by Mount Vernon

There are at least 175 patterns with Rose in their name (Wedding Rose, Wild Rose, Tea Rose, Rose Bud, just a few examples) and 7 alone simply named "Rose". That said, Mount Vernon's Rose, which they introduced in 1910, exhibits a wonderful use of the Rose motif. There is a rose in full bloom with buds at the end of the terminal, leaving a nice area suitable for engraving. Then the top of the stem is adorned with another rose blossom with leaves and the vine trailing down the stem to the top of the shoulder. This makes for a beautiful romantic piece, typical of the Edwardian period.

Autumn by Frank Whiting was introduced in 1888. It is a lovely ornate pattern with a design of leaves and fruits and berries on the terminal and a vine trailing off down the top of the stem.

Princess by Shiebler

Shiebler introduced Princess in 1874. The terminal has a radiant fan like pattern surrounded by an area of small vines and leaves. The stem is decorated with a thin thin line that leads to the top of the shoulder where one finds another radiant fan. The pattern is stately but simple. At 139 years old, it has aged well.

Wedding Rose by Watson

Of the many "Rose" patterns, here is Wedding Rose, a pattern introduced by Watson in 1900. It was designed by Joseph E. Straker, Jr. The terminal is tipped with rose blossoms and there is one at the end of the stem just at the top of the shoulder - simple but well balanced.

Countess by Frank Smith

Frank Smith introduced the pattern Countess in 1928. It is a stately and elegant pattern with just enough flourish to make it stand out from the Chantillys of the world, but still reserve enough not to be called excessive.
