Community Plate was Oneida's flagship silverplate line, known for a heavier silver deposit and superior durability. The Birds of Paradise pattern is now discontinued.
To find eight coordinated pieces in a pattern this age and this ornate is a genuine find — the kind of thing that makes a holiday table feel like a special occasion rather than just a meal.
Birds of Paradise is one of the most romantic patterns Community Plate ever produced — an elaborate Art Nouveau handle wreathed in exotic plumage, issued when American silverplate was at its most expressive.
