Vine Servers: Grapevine
Asparagus Forks
Over twenty different serving pieces were produced in the Grapevine motif, some with different styles of terminal ends, such as the rare asparagus forks seen above. While pieces such as the various berry spoons and cold meat fork are somewhat more common, some pieces are exceedingly rare. These include the asparagus tongs/sandwich server and the tea caddy spoon (see bottom). For additional illustrations, view the Grapevine gallery in Images & Details
