 The spoon on the left is an unknown pattern to me. It is marked Ewan. The spoon on the right is a King's pattern type and is marked M Miller. I just happen to have the two spoons on the same photo, but I am interested in any information about the unknown pattern on the left. IP: Logged |

I've never seen that pattern before, if no one else has seen it, I vote you get to name it. Having said that, "Ahwt" pattern might not work that well. IP: Logged |

I've been told that this pattern was made by a few Charleston silversmiths and is sometimes referred to as Mulberry, Tobacco leaf or Breadfruit. Of the three, Mulberry seems to be the favorite. The Charleston Museum has several examples that I hope to see on my next trip there. Maurice, I must admit any one of those names has a better ring than ahwt. IP: Logged |

    Above is a spoon with the mark of Edward Lownes from Philadelphia, Pa. The spoon is interesting to me because it has impressed on it the same mulberry pattern that is on the Ewan spoon. The pattern may have had a different name in Philadelphia although I think mulberries do grow in that part of the country. The question naturally arises as who was the real manufacturer of spoons with the mulberry pattern. A silversmith in Charleston could have made them and simply sold his or her wares to the Philadelphia market, Lownes may have been the maker and sold his goods to retailers in the Charleston market or a third silversmith, of unknown location, may have been the maker and sold in both the Philadelphia and Charleston market. This month's Traditional Home has an interesting article on South Carolina silver. A mulberry pattern spoon with almost no ware is shown. Can you imagine Traditional Home having an article on early American silver? IP: Logged |

that last bit in ahwt's last post reminds me of a remark by Carmella Soprano when asked if she had any antiques in her home her reply was something like, no, I'm more in to traditional. IP: Logged |
