Listed items will not be marked down during the listing duration. Here is the 1901 pattern Avon, which was made for about 15 years. Avon was a fairly popular pattern, sold widely both through stores and mail order. It remains a highly collectible pattern, stands up well to use, and has a look of lush tailoring. The aspic or jelly knife requires a bit of explanation. It is designed for serving a food that resembles a molded jello. This was an old way of preserving food by adding it to a jelly base. The cook made it into a jelly which was molded into an attractive shape. The gelatin used was an unflavored one, like Knox's, and contained salt so that food would keep for several days in that shape. Thus there were jellied livers, tomatoes in aspic, and fruit molds that could be eaten over several days. This is not a food eaten in quantity, so the server is a long handled piece that resembles a pie server, except that it is very narrow. Today the aspic/jelly server is used for molded salads, jello, and things that no one really should eat a lot of like cheesecake. Think of this as the cheesecake server. The aspic/cheesecake server offered here measures about 8 1/2". This is not a piece of new silver. It shows the patina of as much as 120 years of careful use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is a C monogram on the front of the handle. Silver is softly lustrous. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. This server has been carefully used and well cared for. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding.
