This sterling silver master butter knife is 6 3/8" long and light to moderate weight. The pattern is Eva, which is an early (1870) Gorham design. There is something of a Moorish and/or Renaissance Revival sense to it, and that would be appropriate to the period. There is a script "EWM" monogram on the front, while the backside is entirely plain. The blade is rather singularly fashioned, with notched shoulders, a notch on the upper edge, and a matte surface. The piece is in flawless conditio... Click for details

Durgin's turn of the 20th century Old Standish is an understated design, with a double lined edge and a tipt end.

This piece is a 7" long. rather heavy 1.4 T. oz., preserve or jelly spoon. It is in flawless condition and is without a monogram or removal. Marks are the Durgin "D," the word Sterling, and the name of the retailer, Boston's Shreve, Crump... Click for details

This is a fabulous quality, heavy, silverplate Victorian style water pitcher with hallmarks. It has wonderful scroll work and 4 claw feet. It has the lip that hold the ice inside while you pour the water. It is large, measuring 10.25 inches when the handle is attached, and 6.75 inches across the rim. It is damaged and needs the handle re-attached. I don't have the skills to do that. I do not know the age, but I think it is old, I don't know how to identify the hallmarks.

This is a pretty 2 compartment silverplate relish or candy tray with a handle across the middle section. It measures 13 by 9.5 inches across. It looks in good condition, but needs polished. It also looks like the silver with worn on the handle. It is still a lovely piece. It is unmarked so I don't know the age or maker.

At first impression this 5 9/16" long piece in Towle's 28 aka 128 (Twist) appears to be a citrus spoon. The bowl, however, is narrower, deeper and more sharply tapered than a citrus, suggesting this is a condiment spoon for piccalilli or chow. The attribution is not positive, but certainly suitable. There is a script "JH" monogram on the backside of the bowl, along with the Towle emblem, the number 28, and the word Sterling. The condition is flawless.
