History
This butter dish was produced by the F.B. Rogers Silver Company, which was established in 1883 in Massachusetts and became known for its quality silverplated hollowware. The design features a classic covered dish format typical of late 19th to early 20th century American silverplate tableware, with a simple, elegant form intended for serving butter at the dining table. Silverplated butter dishes like this were essential components of formal dining services during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. They remain popular among collectors of American silverplate and antique tableware enthusiasts for their practical functionality and representation of traditional dining customs. The F.B.
