Pair of stainless steel oval soup spoons in Victorian Charm pattern by International Silver (Insico)

International Silver Company was one of America's largest silver and silverplate manufacturers, operating from 1898 through the 20th century. The Victorian Charm pattern represents mid-to-late 20th century stainless steel flatware production, when the company expanded beyond traditional sterling and silverplate to meet growing demand for durable, affordable everyday tableware. These oval soup spoons, also called place spoons or bouillon spoons, were standard components of formal place settings during this era. Stainless steel flatware from established manufacturers like International Silver appeals to collectors of vintage tableware, those seeking replacement pieces for inherited sets, and enthusiasts of mid-century American domestic design. The Victorian Charm pattern, with its ornate scrollwork reminiscent of 19th-century designs, attracts buyers who appreciate traditional styling combined with the practicality of stainless steel. Such pieces are valued for their durability, historical connection to a major American manufacturer, and their role in documenting the evolution of American dining customs.
