This vintage, heavy, and ornate sterling pattern was introduced by Alvin in the year 1950, and
is no longer manufactured. It is called Prince Eugene in honor of the famed Prince Eugene of
Savoy. In the year 1683 Prince
Eugene of Savoy came to Vienna, Austria, as an impoverished twenty-year-old
nobleman burdened with debts. He was a French prince of Italian
descent, who subsequently earned a reputation as one of the greatest
military commanders in modern history. Over the course of his career
he amassed considerable wealth, and by the end of his life was considered
one of the richest men in Europe. Prince Eugene strengthened Austria's
position as a great power, was known as a patron of the arts, and
built the magnificent Belvedere palaces, considered a triumph of
Baroque splendour. Prince Eugene is lauded in Austrian songs as
"the noble Knight".
