About the Item
A striking example of American silverplate craftsmanship, this ornate shell-form serving dish was created by the International Silver Company and bears the EGW&S mark (E.G. Webster
Sons), one of the company’s historic subsidiaries. With its scalloped clam-shell body, deep repoussé ribbing, and scrolling rococo-style crest, this piece embodies the decorative exuberance of the late 19th to early 20th century silver revival period.

Provenance
History
The International Silver Company of Meriden, Connecticut, established in 1898, grew to become the largest producer of silver and silverplate in the world. This piece carries the EGW&S (E.G. Webster
Sons) mark, a New York–based silver firm founded in the 19th century and absorbed by International Silver. Known for ornately decorated hollowware, EGW&S pieces are highly collectible today for their quality and design. Shell dishes like this one were often used for serving oysters, nuts, candies, or as table centerpieces, and they remain versatile decorative objects.

Use for entertaining, serving oysters, hors d’oeuvres, or wrapped candies.
