By International Silver Company, comprising 8 Dinner Plates and 8 Bread and Butter Plates, each in the Georgian Style, of shaped circular form with applied cast and chased shell, shield and gadroon border. Diameter of Dinner Plate: 10 1/2 inches Diameter of Bread and Butter Plate: 6 1/2 inches. Weight: 224 Troy ounces. Condition: Excellent. CIRCA; 1925 This set is typical of many sets of dinner and bread plates produced in the first half of the 20th century in that it is designed in the style of the late 18th century. However, the Georgian 18th century sets were only made with dinner plates and usually they were 10 inches in diameter. It was not until the late 19th century that service plates were commonly made larger than 10 inches. This set is very versatile in that the plates can be used in many other ways. For instance, the dinner plates can be used individually to serve hors d’oeuvres or pies and desserts. The bread and butter plates can be used for individual hors d’oeuvres, dessert and petit fours plates.   Price: $12,000   Stock #AW903
