This American Colonial-inspired pattern is unusual in being the only flatware pattern designed by Berkeley, California artist William H. Wilke. Wilke studied at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute in San Francisco and the Academie Julien in Paris before settling in the Bay Area where he became a prominent gold and silver designer for Shreve & Co. He was awarded a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 for silver vase design for Shreve. Wilke was also an accomplished painter, printmaker, illustrator and miniaturist, noted for his bookplate designs and watercolors and etchings of the San Francisco area. His archive is conserved at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
