This is a beautiful sterling silver serving piece. The pattern is called "Bridal Rose" and it is from the Alvin Sterling Company. T is an intricate design on the serving part but with much wear. We are a bit confused on this serving piece for it appears to have a place for the thumb to rest (or to give it more stability) when one is serving - it has a cutout and we do not know if it came that way or if someone customized it through the years. When one holds the handle the thumb fits nicely in this cutout area on the bottom base. The only mark on this spoon that we can see says STERLING. Also by the top rose (on the handle) it almost looks like a small cutout on each side but it could have been manufactured that way. This nice heavy piece of sterling does have a lot of wear but that is expected for its age and the amount of use that it got. It is 5.7 ounces of sterling. It measures approximately 12" long and 2 1/2" at its widest. Great unusual piece for your silver collection. The Alvin Silver Manufacturing Company was founded during the latter part of the 19th century. Their original headquarters in 1886 was located in New Jersey. Historical records reference multiple names for this manufacturer, including The Alvin Silver Manufacturing Company, The Alvin Mfg Co., Alvin Silver Co., and The Alvin Corporation. Alvin was known for manufacturing not only its fine sterling silver flatware, but also for its hollowware (i.e. - tea sets, bowls, etc ), and toiletware ( i.e. - exquisitely detailed sterling handmirrors, etc. ) In 1895 The Alvin Silver Manufacturing Company relocated from New Jersey to Sag Harbor, New York w it began manufacturing popular silverware based on historical patterns. Alvin now functions as a division of Gorham which still produces some of the early Alvin patterns.
