Vintage 1776-1976 Rogers Silverplate Commemorative Dessert Server. Measures 9 1/2". Very good condition. Needs to be polished. Comes with box.
This nine-and-a-half-inch dessert server is a classic piece of Bicentennial memorabilia, produced by Rogers to commemorate the 1776–1976 United States anniversary. Crafted with a substantial silverplate finish, the server features an ornate handle decorated with patriotic symbols and the commemorative dates. The wide, tapered blade is designed for the precise serving of pies, cakes, or pastries, making it a functional yet decorative addition to a holiday table or a collection of American commemorative silver.
The server is in very good vintage condition, maintaining its structural integrity and crisp embossed detailing. It currently exhibits a natural tarnish consistent with its age, which can be easily polished to restore its original high-luster brilliance. This piece comes complete with its original presentation box, providing a layer of academic interest and protection for the silver. It is a soulful find for collectors of Rogers silverplate, Bicentennial ephemera, or those who appreciate the utilitarian elegance of mid-century commemorative tableware.
