Southern Rose by Manchester

Another repousse pattern with a rose design is Southern Rose by Manchester introduced in 1933.. The rose blossoms and leaves look very similar to other repousse patterns. However, if you look closely, you can see subtle differences in each. All are lovely designs.

Brocade is a traditional looking pattern I am surprised they did not attach a "Rose" moniker to due the rose floral motif in the design. The pattern is relatively new (1950).

New Queens by Durgin

Durgin introduced New Queens in 1900. Note the mirrored scallop shell motif on the terminal. You will also see a continuation on the shell motif on the shoulder of the serving pieces. Although the lines along the stem are simple, their simple curves together with the scallops make for an elegant pattern.

Knife


Long Handle Pickle Fork

Florentine by Alvin

There are several patterns named "Florentine". This is Alvin's Florentine pattern that was introduced in 1900. This is a beautiful pattern in the tradition of Alvin. The terminal is graced with scroll work then leaf work follows the edge to the top of the stem. The piercing and decorations on the tines and bowls of the serving pieces are just beautiful.

Baby Knife

The Baby Knife is one of the three piece baby set (knife, spoon, and fork) found in most patterns. Usually they are just a miniature version of the adult piece. However, you will see the baby piece tends to have a fatter handle. These are not to be confused with the "Youth" pieces which are larger than the "Baby" pieces, but usually just smaller in size than the adult pieces, not altered for smaller hands like the "Baby" pieces are.
