This serving platter is part of a set that was inherited from my mother, who used it for special occasions as I was growing up in the 1950s and ‘60s. Experts have described it as a vintage (1920’s) gold-rimmed set for special occasions. The beautiful pattern is not a standard factory pattern, so it is thought to have been specially produced for a particular customer. The value of the entire set has been appraised at $2400-2600 at retail. I am listing smaller groups of items in separate entries. I am willing to discuss offers for all or part of the set. This listing includes a large serving platter in perfect condition. A medium and a small serving platter are offered in separate listings.
Originally complete with 12 5-piece place settings and full serving items, natural wear and tear has led to chipping and breakage of some of the other pieces. The remaining serving items are listed separately, as are additional 5 intact place settings and serveral chipped additional components: 5 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, 4 bread-and-butter plates, 2 soup bowls, and 6 dessert bowls.
