Vintage Wm. A. Rogers Silverplate Scalloped Candy Bowl

A beautifully reflective vintage silverplate serving dish by Wm. A. Rogers, manufactured by Oneida Ltd., featuring an elegant scalloped rim and softly fluted interior. The bowl’s organic form and highly polished surface create a sculptural effect, reflecting light and surrounding décor with a mirror-like brilliance.

The underside retains the original maker’s label reading “Wm. A. Rogers – By Oneida Ltd. Silversmiths.” The Rogers name was widely used on American silverplate produced by Oneida during the 20th century, a period when the company expanded its tableware lines for both home entertaining and hospitality use.

Pieces marked Wm. A. Rogers were typically crafted in heavy silverplate over a base metal alloy, a technique popular in the early-to-mid 20th century that allowed households to enjoy the look of sterling silver at a more accessible price point.

This dish’s gently undulating rim and fluted sides echo traditional Victorian and Regency silver forms while remaining versatile enough for contemporary interiors. Its substantial weight and elegant shape make it equally suitable as a serving dish, centerpiece bowl, or decorative catchall.

The reflective silver surface adds depth and light to a table setting, bar cart, or entry vignette.
