Reed and Barton Sterling Silver Nut Dish Les Cinq Fleurs – Orchid

Description

Description
For your consideration is an antique sterling
silver nut dish in the les Cinq Fleurs pattern by Reed and Barton.
This pattern was designed by Joseph Smith and
issued by Reed and Barton in 1900.
This
nut dish features the Orchid.
The bottom
side of the dish is marked with the old maker’s mark for Reed and Barton along
with ‘STERLING’, ‘ORCHID’, and the patent date.
The
Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal
alloy, “Britannia metal”, in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop.
Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to
produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered
financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began
manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company’s goods
reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial
silver plate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations
that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s. Reed and Barton is
still headquartered in Taunton and the company remains privately owned by the
family of Henry Reed.
