Description
Fine Durgin Sterling Silver "Cattails" Chocolate/Demitasse Set
designed around 1902 by William E. Carlson, Concord, New Hampshire, including twelve chocolate/demitasse spoons, l. 4", and a sugar spoon, l. 5-3/4", each with a finely detailed figural "cattail" handle and gilt "lily pad" bowl.
7.07 total t. oz.
Notes: This delightful and popular pattern is recorded as having been introduced in 1898, although U.S. patent records show that the application for the design was filed on January 27, 1902, and the design patent number 35877 granted on April 2, 1902. Little is known about the designer William E. Carlson. The 1900 Federal Census for Concord, New Hampshire records that he was born in Sweden in January, 1860 and emigrated to the United States in 1883; his occupation is given as "designer and die cutter".
