    Is there any one can help me with the exact name of this sterling silver ware of Reed Barton? Thanks. (Such as: Reed Barton - Francis I , Kird son - Repousse, Tiffany Chrysanthemum etc.)

    Since Replacements (where your picture comes from) apparently does not give a name (thus showing it only by the design number 575A) it's likely that design was never named. It probably did not match a full pattern of flatware. Lots of hollow ware was not named.

    Those listed as Francis I (570a) are so similar, I would just guess this is another production date of them with maybe some slight alterations.

    Thank you terry, but in my opinion, it is not Francis

    Why do you think that, Asian Fever?

    But the pattern of it is not exactly like Francis I, we can take a look at the rim of waste bowl. The waste bowl rim of Francis I has a lot curved decoratives.

    But this set has a flat rim.

    I take it you don't have this one in hand? I will say that, looking more intently, if I had not seen the number in the list, I would still be saying unnamed.

    Looking very closely, 575a isn't anything like Francis I. I'm back to square one - an unnamed line, limited to hollow ware.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Is it possible for you to cite the other place where you found the name "Flora"? That would probably help the original poster @Asian Fever .

    It's found in sales listings from Antique Cupboard in Wisconsin. Elements do bear a strong resemblance to Reed & Barton's 1890 'Flora' flatware pattern - until just a few years ago, before R&B sold out, they were still family owned and their customer service department would look up pieces if you asked nicely (miss those days)...
