Ramekin Forks (Part 3)

I have posted on Ramekin Forks several times earlier. Here are more examples of this specialty place piece.

Stately by Statehouse (6 inches)




Wedgewood by International (5 3/4 inches)





Hyperion by Whiting (5 1/8 inches)





Medallion by Wendt (5 3/4 inches)

Edward VII by Alvin

Introduced in 1899 by Alvin, Edward II is a very strong, almost masculine pattern. The terminal has a knight's helmet and what looks like either a shield or coat of arms. The shoulder of the spoons is decorated with elegant flourishes that follow around the edge of the bowl. 

Soup Ladle (12 3/4 inches)



Desert/soup Spoon (7 1/4 inches)





Preserve Spoon  (7 1/4 inches)

I posted earlier about the Almond Scoop, a beautiful piece, very similar to the design of the pierced Bonbon Scoop.

Canterbury by Towle (4 3/4 inches)


Georgian by Towle (4 1/2 inches)


Wellington by Alvin (4 1/2 inches)



Old English by Towle (4 3/8 inches)

Fish Server

Often referred to as a Fish Knife as I mentioned in an earlier post, the Fish Server is designed to work with the Fish Fork to gently serve the delicate meat of the fish without breaking it up. 

Empire by Durgin (10 7/8 inches)





Scroll by Durgin (11 1/2 inches)





Italian by Tiffany (10 1/4 inches)





Persian by Tiffany (9 inches)

Apollo by JB and SM Knowles

First introduced in 1892, Apollo is a refined pattern with a beaded stem topped by a floral motif at the bottom of the terminal which is surrounded by decorative work. I'm not sure where the inspiration for name came from, but a pretty pattern none the less. 

Sugar Spoon (6 inches)





Gumbo spoon (7 inches)





Master Butter (7 1/8 inches)

Oyster Forks Part 3

Grapefruit Spoons (Part 2)

I posted earlier on Grapefruit spoons. These are usually easily recognized because of their pointed bowls (to pierce the pulp of the fruit). On some of the more elaborate patterns, the design will be carried to edges of the bowl.

Nuremburg by Alvin

Introduced in 1903, this is the Nuremburg pattern by Alvin. It is hard to see in the pictures, but if you look at the design at the bottom of the terminal at the top of the stem you will see a face in the design of the pattern.
