Description
20th century Wm Rogers (William Rogers) silver plate serving platter / tray, item number 166. Round form with rope twist edge and surface etched with a floral/scalloped/foliate motif.
"William Hazen Rogers (born May 13, 1801) was an American master silversmith and a pioneer in the silver-plate industry and whose work and name have survived to the present day. Rogers – together with his two brothers and, later, his son – was responsible for more than 100 patterns of silver and silver-plated cutlery and serving dishes. Rogers partnered with other silversmiths at times, and his company and trademarks were eventually taken over by larger companies. After he left home, he went on to become a silversmith, watchmaker and jeweler. From 1820 to 1825, Rogers was an apprentice to Joseph Church, a silversmith and watchmaker in Hartford. In 1825, Rogers became partners with Church and their company, Church & Rogers, initially manufactured silver-plate flatware and hollowware. He was also partner, from 1832 to 1838, with Asa Harris Rogers, his younger brother, as "A. Rogers Jr. & Co." while still associated with Church & Rogers. The original Rogers brothers (William, Asa and Simeon) as well as some of their sons, were actively interested many iterations of the company name through the years, beginning in 1847. These concerns, as well as the Meriden Britannia Co. (beginning in 1862) continued the production of "1847 Rogers Bros" and at various times have been part of the lnternational Silver Co. All three of the partners, William, Asa and Simeon, were in the employ of the Meriden Britannia Co. when they died.
"Eagle Wm Rogers Star" is the individual mark of William Rogers used on coin silver spoons (Hartford, CT, 1825-1841). From 1878 to 1893 the mark was used in silverplate flatware by Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co under permission of William Rogers Jr. This mark continued to be used until 1976 in silverplated flatware and from 1938 to 1976 in hollowware."
