I have a set of six 7 3/8" Tiffany Lap Over Edge Knives with sterling blades, weighing about 2.25 oz each. I am not sure if the designs on the handles are acid-etched or applied. I am also not sure if the handles are hollow or solid. Finally, I would like to determine whether they are classified as Breakfast, Tea or Dessert knives. If someone could help me answer any or all of these three questions, it would be greatly appreciated!

Those look acid etched to me. I don't know the answers to your other questions. IP: Logged |

Agree, these look like Tiffany's Lap-Over-Edge Acid Etched pattern hollow handled knives. William Hood's book Tiffany Silver Flatware 1845-1905, When Dining Was an Art has a scholarly review of Tiffany knives. On quick review it's not that straightforward for me though. These could be any of the types you list as well as children's knives. Two matching services list similar sized knives as Breakfast knives on one site and desert/tea knives on the other! IP: Logged |

Per Dr. Hood, Lap Over Edge was designed by Charles Grosjean and patented 1880. He designed Chrysanthemum, too, introduced later in 1880.. IP: Logged |
