fiddle pattern. A design of cutlery, the "fiddle" pattern, is named because the resulting shape is said to to be similar to a violin with the top of the stem as the peg box, the parallel-sided stem as the neck and the dished section (of a spoon) the body. The pattern was popular in Britain from the 1800s to around 1920.
There are several variants to the fiddle pattern: fiddle and thread, fiddle and shell and fiddle, thread and shell.
