Mint condition vintage Wm A Rogers silver plate footed and covered butter dish featuring a heavily and deeply scrolled applied edge, four shell adorned footed feet and a fancy butter dish lid finial.
Years ago, cooking in America called for tremendous amounts of butter. Though margarine made its appearance during World War II, there was no substitute for butter.
As butter began to be commercially produced for distribution in individually wrapped quarter pound cubes, the large form became obsolete. Thus the butter dish began a new form. Most of the new butter dish forms are 8 – 9 inches long.
This vintage footed and covered butter dish has no silverplate wear or loss, no dings or dents, no scratches or other damage to note. It is in near MINT condition with only a few very light surface scratches from polishing! Looks to have rarely if EVER been used.
This vintage silver butter dish is in near mint condition, measuring 8.125" in length, 4.75" in width, stands 3.5" tall at the top of the finial and weighs 13.9 ounces. Touchmarked on the bottom of the butter dish with WM A ROGERS. You can read more about the history of William A. Rogers Silver from our Silver Manufacturers pages.
