Antique Victorian-era silver-plated piece made by the Meriden Silver Plate Company.
Maker's Mark Breakdown
• The Logo / Name: The block stamp "MERIDEN" along with the circular scales logo represents the Meriden Silver Plate Co. of Meriden, Connecticut. Founded in 1869, they became one of the original companies that merged to form the International Silver Company in 1898.
• The Design Number (5040): The stamped number 5040 is the specific manufacturer catalog or design number used for this particular style of reticulated handled serving piece.
• The Letter "P": This letter designates that the base metal used underneath the silver electroplating is Britannia metal (a pewter-like alloy of tin, antimony, and copper) or indicates a specific plating line variant.
Given the combination of these marks, this piece was manufactured in the United States between 1870 and 1898.
