This elegant piece is a vintage silver-plated covered serving dish or chafing dish, crafted in the ornate Victorian Revival style by the legendary F.B. Rogers Silver Co. Raised on three decorative feet, the bowl features graceful curves and a scalloped edge, while the domed lid is richly adorned with elaborate floral and scrollwork engravings. The finial knob on top is likely made of ebony or black Bakelite, adding a classic contrast to the shimmering metal. Designed for formal entertaining, this dish would have originally been used to serve warm food at the dining table—perfect for roasts, vegetables, or stews—while keeping its contents covered and warm.
