I know this is a John Polhamus serving piece but if anyone knows the pattern or what it's called I would appreciate learning! Thanks in advance.

FYI, I inherited this and many other pieces I will have questions about. NONE of it is for sale. My wife and I enjoy learning about what we have been given and intend on passing it along to our children.

I quickly read through the forum guidelines and hopefully I'm adhering to all of them. If not, let me know and I will be sure to do so.

The pattern is called "Bead" circa 1850. It is a pierced flat server. Similar pieces made by Tiffany were marketed as waffle, toast,or croquette servers.

These were also sometimes used as fish servers, though the large broad knife shaped servers tend to be the more common design for fish servers/fish slices.
