Gravy Boat / Saucière, International Silver, Early American, Silverplate, Vintage

• Pattern:  Vintage Silverplate Gravy Boat / Sauciere with Underplate, Early American 2116, ISC (Discontinued)
• Vintage: 1927 - 1970's (estimated)
• Details:  This is a very elegant looking sauciere by International Silver Company.  It's in their "Early American" pattern, easily recognizable because of all the pretty notches and swirls all along the border.  We found an advertisement from 1927 where this pattern is listed, we don't know when it was discontinued, but the International Silver holloware business was sold to Oneida in 1981, so that's the oldest it could be from, most likely earlier, 1970's.  Gorgeous on a buffet table, (this style is called a saucière, which typically has no handle and two pour spouts, but can easily be used as a gravy boat), holiday table.  These boats are perfect for syrup, sauces, and other toppings.  Great hostess gift idea!

The International Silver Contortion was formed in 1898 in Meriden, Connecticut as a corporation banding together many existing silver companies.  Also known as ISC, they market International Sterling flatware and silverplated flatware under various trademarks. The production of sterling hollowware continued until 1976 while the silver plated hollowware business was sold to Oneida Silversmiths in 1981. In 1986 the business was purchased by a subsidiary of Syratech Corporation. International Silver Co is now a property of Lifetime Brands, Inc.
