Vintage Webster Wilcox International Silver Co. "Roberta" 25in Silverplate Tray

A beautiful, mid-century vintage large oval serving tray produced by the Webster-Wilcox division under the International Silver Company banner. This specific piece features pattern/mold number 2681, historically cataloged as the premium "Roberta" line. Key Design & Construction Features: Heavy-Duty Build: This is an incredibly substantial, heavy-gauge piece. It features a thick, premium electroplated silver coating over a robust base white metal alloy, giving it the identical weight, balance, and solid tactile presence of traditional luxury hotel silver. Sleek Minimalist Aesthetic: A mirror-polished, smooth oval expanse paired with elegant, architectural handles accented with subtle scroll detailing and drop-bead terminals. It perfectly bridges mid-century modernist style with classic fine dining. Impressive Scale: Spans a massive 25 inches from handle to handle. The tray surface alone measures 14.75” x 21.5”, making it the ultimate centerpiece for large-scale entertaining, bar presentation, or tea and coffee service sets. Hallmarked: Stamped clearly on the reverse side with the official factory maker marks including "International Silver Co.", "Wilcox S.P. Co.", and pattern mold number "2681". Condition Notes: Excellent vintage structural condition with beautiful mirror-like reflection. No dents, deep structural gouges, or base metal bleeding. Shows typical superficial hairline scratches and polish marks consistent with age and handling. This light patina only adds to its authentic vintage character.
