Lot 046: Lot of Vintage F.B. Rogers Silverplate Items

Description

A varied collection of vintage F.B. Rogers silverplate items, offering a glimpse into mid-20th century homeware aesthetics with their ornate and functional designs. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Mid-20th Century, Italy * Material: Silverplate * Maker: F.B. Rogers (as marked on compote base) * Contents: This lot includes a compote, a teapot, a lidded sugar bowl, a cream jug, a footed goblet, a decorative vase, two rectangular dishes with bakelite-style handles, and a small oval dish. Condition: All items exhibit significant tarnishing and surface wear consistent with age and use. The decorative vase has a prominent crack on its base. General scratches and minor dents are present across the collection. Interesting fact: * F.B. Rogers Silver Co. was an American manufacturer of silver-plated holloware, founded in 1883, and later became part of the International Silver Company. The 'Italy' mark indicates specific manufacturing origin for the compote, possibly reflecting a period of international production or import by the company. * Silverplate items, while not solid silver, were popular for providing an elegant dining experience at a more accessible price point, often replicating the elaborate designs of their sterling silver counterparts. Use: This collection is suited for collectors of vintage silverplate, those seeking period decorative pieces, or for use in staging and display.
