Hors D' Oeuvre Fork

I posted on Hor D' Oeuvre Pieces in general earlier. Here is the Hor D' Oeuvre Fork specifically. Several of these pieces can easily be confused with the Sardine Fork, but then others resemble a Strawberry or Berry Fork. Whatever they resemble, they are found in very few patterns.

The earlier, less intricate Salem Witch design  by Daniel Low.

 The Relish Spoon is one more type of pickle condiment utensil. The bowls differ greatly from pattern to pattern, some being plain oval, some being slightly fluted, and yet others pierced.

Troubadour by Concord

The company Concord was bought by Frank Whiting so you may find this pattern listed under either. Troubadour was introduced in 1950. Although a newer pattern (in the world of  sterling), it has some traditional lines.

Cocktail Fork (5 3/4 inches)





 Cheese Server (6 1/2  inches)





 Individual Salt Spoon (2  1/4 inches)

Blossom by Whiting (6 1/4 inches)




Cherub by Watson Newell (5 1/2 inches)

Saratoga (King's, King, Cook) by Tiffany

Tiffany introduced Kings or King in 1870. It was designed by Edward C. Moore. In 1908 the name was changed to Cook. 1956 it was reintroduced as Saratoga. 

Berry Scoop (9 3/8 inches)



Salad Serving Set (10 inches)



Fish Serving Fork (10 inches)



Master Salt Spoon (3 5/8 inches)

Dolphin by Tiffany

Dolphin was introduced by Tiffany in 1883. This is described as one of their "not full line" sterling patterns - meaning it only consists of a few servings pieces mainly the fish serving knife and fork, ice cream knife, salad serving knife and spoon, pastry server, and berry serving spoon. But what an exquisite pattern it is.

Aeolian by Knowles

Aeolian was introduced by JB & Sm Knowles in 1882. The engraving on the blades of some of the pieces is very intricate. This was common for patterns during this time. And the pattern on the stems and terminals is ornate and rich, especially when the pieces are old and have patina that show off the intricacies of the design.

Large Pie Knife (9 1/8 inches)




Flat Handle Master Butter Knife  (7 1/8 inches)

Josephine by Frank Whiting

Frank Whiting's pattern Josephine (there are 8 other patterns named "Josephine" by other manufacturers) was introduced in 1890. It is a rich and ornate pattern. Its lines remind me of FW's Lily pattern without the floral notes.
