| Physical Description: | 12-piece sterling silver bouillon spoon set in Whiting's Louis XV pattern with plain round bowls, scrolled handle edges, and monogram "C" on the handle near the 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. Over time, Grace Campbell may have changed her tastes in flatware. She acquired numerous monogrammed pieces, like this set of bouillon (clear soup) spoons in the 1891 "Louis XV" pattern made by the Whiting Company. Later, she purchased flatware sets in the 1901 "King Edward" and 1902 "Lily" patterns. |
