Vintage International Silver Plate Chippendale Serving Plate Scalloped Tray 11"

Description

Vintage scalloped edge silver plate serving tray by International Silver Co in the Chippendale pattern. “The International Silver Company was formed in 1898 by various independent New England silversmiths that, between 1898 and 1903, joined themselves together to form a company that became the world's largest manufacturer of silverware. The International Silver Co. was organized with an authorized capital of $20,000,000 and included many companies each of which had won a place for itself in the silver world. Other companies became part of International Silver Company, either directly or indirectly through one of the initial companies. International Silver Company and its factories were active in the whole Meriden-Wallingford area becoming possibly the larger center for silver craftsmanship in the US. The peak of the production was reached in the late 1930s.
The production of sterling hollowware continued until 1976 while the silver plated hollowware business was sold to Oneida Silversmiths in 1981. Besides the marks bearing its own name or the name of one of the companies organized in the International Silver Company, the silverplate production was marked with a wide array of trademarks. The International Silver Company was sold in 1984 to Katy Industries Inc. changing its name to Wallace International Silversmiths, Wallingford, Connecticut.
This firm markets International Sterling flatware and silverplated flatware under various trademarks (e.g. 1847 Rogers Bros, International Deepsilver,).
In 1986 the business was purchased by a subsidiary of Syratech Corporation.
International Silver Co is now (2020) property of Lifetime Brands, Inc. owner of other historic brands as Gorham, Kirk Stieff, Poole, Towle Silversmiths, Tuttle and Wallace.”
