Does anyone know if this pattern has a name? The item is an 1860 christening spoon by George Adams.

Miles,
A similar pattern is found in American silver c.1850 called "Prince Albert".

We have Prince Albert (or just Albert) pattern in England too; first used in 1840 to commemorate Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert. Of all the King's, Hourglass, and Queen's type patterns Albert is the closest to mine, but still lacks the flame design at the top part of the stem.
