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.
