I enjoy antiques and vintage items, knowing they have a history. I love decorating my own space with these items as well as passing them on to others who have the same passion in older items. Come browse my shop and enjoy!
The user image shows an antique or vintage oval silver-plated bread tray, likely featuring an ornate floral or scroll border and the word "Bread" engraved.
The birth certificate shows the manufacturer's maker's mark stamped on the underside of your vintage bread tray. The text is partially worn away, but can be read as: COLUMBIAN (referring to the Columbian Silver Company), QUADRUPLE (indicating quadruple silver plate, meaning four layers of silver electroplating were applied over the base metal alloy for maximum durability) and 16049 (the specific catalog or design serial number for this particular style of oval bread tray).
The "Columbian Silver Co." brand mark was heavily utilized by the Queen City Silver Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, which operated from approximately 1888 to 1949. The company frequently produced these types of deeply engraved and highly decorative Victorian/Edwardian serving platters around the turn of the 20th century.
Patina consistent with age.
