| Physical Description: | Sterling serving or berry spoon in International Silver Co's Frontenac pattern has oval bowl with scrolls and lilies along rim. Handle has Art Nouveau style stems and lilies on top, backs of lilies and stems on reverse. Monogram "C" on handle top, near tip. |
| Description: | The 1859 Comstock Lode discovery provided a large silver supply, and silver flatware became a dining essential. New serving pieces were introduced during the 1880s and 1890s, before the number of pieces in any one pattern began to decline. Grace Campbell owned an assortment of flatware pieces in various styles, occasionally monogrammed. This serving spoon in the International Silver Company's 1903 "Frontenac" pattern, closely resembles Grace Campbell's "Lily" pattern flatware patented just a year earlier. |
