Ice Cream Server

And, one more serving piece to add to the silver chest, the Ice Cream Server. Most patterns, that have one Ice Cream Server, tend to have it in two sizes, a large and a small.

Cranberry Server Part 2

Since fall is the season for cranberries I thought I would look again at the Cranberry Server. I posted on this earlier. Often this piece will be confused with the Tomato Server, the difference being that the Tomato Server has a pierced bowl.

Demitasse Spoon (4 1/8 inches)

Individual Terrapin Spoon

In looking into Terrapin pieces, I could only find one example of an Individual Terrapin Spoon, and it is by Gorham. But what a lovely piece with the bowl of the spoon decorated and shaped like the carapace of the animal. And, of course, Versailles is such an ornate pattern in itself. I feel certain, somewhere there are more out there.

Versailles by Gorham (4 7/8 inches)

Winthrop by Tiffany

Winthrop was introduced by Tiffany in 1909 and designed by Albert A. Southwick. The terminal has a classical design with garlands crisscrossing twice under other embellishments

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.

Teaspoon (5 7/8 inches)

 


 

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

Relish Spoon

 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.
