These 6 7/8" dessert forks are in a pattern I loosely call "Bead". There are several variations of this pattern including the following set which is slightly different at the tip of the handle.

These are 5 3/4". The pattern seems to be 3 ivy leaves at the top. They are in excellent condition. Only marked "coin", we wonder about the maker. Ca 1855/65.
