Milk Glass Candy Dish W/ Lid, Westmoreland Glass Co. Argonaut Shell Pattern
Located in New Orleans, LA
A vintage, 1950's milk glass covered candy dish by Westmoreland, in the Argonaut pattern, having lovely garlands of shells, beading, dolphin feet and a shell top handle. First made by Westmoreland in the 1920s in the United States, milk glass was the most remarkable and prolific product the company manufactured. In fact, they were one of the top producers of fine quality milk glass in the United States, according to the Collector's Encyclopedia of Milk Glass by Betty and Bill Newbound. The pattern for this eclectic lidded milk glass bowl, #1048, was based on the original Dauphins pattern by Portieux Vallerysthal which debuted in 1908. Westmoreland copied the design and made their own mould calling the production a “Faithful Reproduction of a Classic Design". From what I understand, over 20 colors were produced in this pattern beginning in the late 1950s all the way through 1984; milk glass was discontinued in 1963. The pattern consists of raised seashells, beaded lip and a stylized dolphin footed tripod base; an Argonaut shell serves as the lid’s handle. It measures 7” high with the lid on; lid off 3½”; 6” lip diameter; tripod base width 6”. It weighs a hefty 2 lbs. 9 oz.. Color is snowy white milk glass that has some opalescent hues depending on light casting; medium is pressed moulded glass. Overall in excellent condition with minimal wear. Interior lid has the mark Westmoreland used from 1940 to 1980. A beautiful piece that would look fabulous on any vanity or table top as a décor accent or trinket bowl or a perfect gift for a Westmoreland Glass...

Antique French Silver and Cut Glass Caviar / Serving Dish
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A magnificent, fine and impressive antique French silver and cut glass serving/caviar dish; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection This magnificent antique French silver and cut glass caviar/serving dish has circular shaped form onto a pedestal and square base. This antique silver dish is fitted with an exceptional cut glass body. The upper and lower portions of the dish are encompassed with impressive French silver mounts embellished with chased lobed stylised leaf decoration. The magnificent dish retains the original cast handles, ornamented with impressive spiralling rosette and leaf designs to the handpieces and sockets. The caviar dish is fitted with an impressive hallmarked push fit domed cover, encompassed to the rim with a simplified leaf decorated border. The cover is surmounted with exceptional cast floral and foliate motif emanating from a cast silver bud style finial; this ornamental motif is detachable, secured in situ via the screw fit finial. This exceptional dish is supported by an impressive cast leaf decorated pedestal to a swept square base. The base is encompassed with further chased leaf decoration, reflecting that of the vessels upper rim. The decoration to the base incorporates two cartouches, one bearing the contemporary engraved initials 'EDCHSV' and the other featuring a coat of arms depicting an escutcheon of three mullets of six points pierced, surmounted with a helm with closed-visor. The serving dish base is supported by four exceptional cast silver paw style feet, accented with leaf and floral rosette designs. The hallmarks to the cover and rim of the base include: Maker's mark: Untraced Silver quality/purity mark: Mercury, 1 (.950, 950/1000, Paris) Guarantee mark: Paris (large guarantee) NOTE: From August 1819 the French silverware hallmarking system was developed to require pieces to be marked with the maker's mark, the mark indicating fineness and a guarantee mark. These continued to be the required range of hallmarks until May 1838, where the head of Minerva mark was utilised opposed to Mercury. This determines the date of the piece as circa 1830. Condition This French silver caviar dish is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The cast and chased decoration is very sharp and the engraved ornamentation is very crisp. The French hallmarks struck to the underside of the cover and rim of the base are all very clear. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this magnificent example of 19th century silverware...

Durgin Co, the model number and signed, "D STERLING 930C". NutmegGraters.Com ~ American Sterling Nutmeg Grater By Durgin William B. Durgin Co. (1853 - 1924) was a noted American sterling silver manufacturer based in Concord, New Hampshire, and one of the largest flatware and hollowware manufacturers in the United States. Over the period between the 1905-1924 it was merged into the Gorham Manufacturing Company. The company was founded by the silversmith William Butler Durgin (July 29, 1833 - May 6, 1905). Durgin was born in Campton, New Hampshire, and from 1849-1853 apprenticed to Boston silversmith Newell Harding. In the 1840s Durgin moved back to Concord, where he opened a small shop making spoons opposite the Free Bridge Road. He incorporated as William B. Durgin Company in 1853, in 1854 added the manufacture of silverware, and in 1866 established a large brick factory on School Street. In 1905, after the death of both Durgin and his son, George F. Durgin, the company was acquired by Gorham through a long process that culminated with an official purchase in 1924. Production was moved to Providence, Rhode Island, in 1931. The company made the Davis Cup, the silver service for the battleship USS New Hampshire, and medals for St. Paul's School. Its Fairfax flatware...

Vintage, New and Antique Serving Bowls

Vintage, new and antique serving bowls are popular with collectors as well as cooks. While some serving bowls are merely decorative items, others are both eye-catching and functional.

The design and material of a bowl will vary depending on the period and location where it was made. Antique Chinese serving bowls are often exquisitely painted and made from fine porcelain. Colonial American wooden bowls are practical and elegant, able to hold brightly colored fruit or act as a serving dish at a family meal.

Along with wood, stone, metal and porcelain, there are also glass serving bowls. The most notable are made from Murano glass, named for the Murano Island in Venice where many of the world’s most famous glass objects have been produced. Glass serving bowls from the 19th through the mid-20th century are especially popular with collectors. Pieces from this era range from simple to ornate, frequently featuring gold or painted embellishments.

The styles of these bowls include art glass, which dates to the mid-19th century, and colorful carnival glass, which was introduced in the early 20th century. Carnival glass serving bowls were more affordable so they were used widely in homes. Depression glass, an iteration of glassware that was inexpensively mass-produced when people didn’t have much money to spend on decor during the 1920s and ’30s, featured bright colors. Milk glass, which had its heyday in the late 19th century, adds a touch of elegance to any table or display.

Antique and vintage serving bowls are desirable for their style, patterns and range of textures they can help introduce to a space. They are also prized for their rich history. Browse antique and vintage serving bowls on 1stDibs today.
