Classic American silverplate at its most practical and elegant — this covered oval vegetable server by National Silver Company is a genuine two-in-one: remove the lid and you have two serving dishes, one shallow and one deeper, each useful on its own. The design is clean and timeless, with just enough restrained detailing to feel special without being fussy. Stamped "National Silver on Copper 1205."
National Silver Company was founded by Samuel E. Bernstein in 1904 and became one of America's well-regarded makers of sterling and silverplated flatware and holloware. The company changed hands several times over the decades — acquired by Cheltenham & Co. in 1940, then F.B. Rogers in 1955, then Ontario Mfg. Co. in 1956 — before fading from use by the 1970s.
A beautiful choice for a holiday table, an elegant buffet, or a formal dinner at home. Wonderful as a gift for anyone who entertains with intention.
