The piece features the characteristic ribbed detailing found on Victorian-era serving pieces, with elegant reeded patterns around both the shallow bowl’s rim and the pedestal base. The bottom bears clear markings including “Rogers” in script lettering, “SILVER PLATED,” and “1847,” which was the company’s trademark commemorating the year the Rogers brothers began silver plating.
