Vintage Knickerbocker Silver Co. Grape Motif Silver-Plated Beverage Set with Tray

This elegant vintage beverage set from Knickerbocker Silver Co. reflects timeless craftsmanship and design. Featuring intricate grapevine and fruit motifs, a popular design element of the mid-20th century, this set combines practicality with refined aesthetics.

The set includes:

  • Pitcher (#C8011): A tall, graceful piece with a curved spout and ornate handle, measuring 12" H x 6" W x 8 1/2" D.
  • Two Goblets (#C8005): Each goblet stands at 6 1/2" tall, with delicately embossed grape motifs on the rims, perfect for serving wine or other beverages.
  • Tray (#263-18): A decorative silver-plated tray with a scalloped edge and engraved floral designs, measuring 14" in diameter, stamped "T&T E P."

Each piece is marked: the pitcher and goblets bear the "K.S. Co." mark, while the tray is stamped "T&T E P," denoting its electroplated silver finish. These marks authenticate the set's origins and quality.

Use:
This set is ideal for formal dining occasions, wine service, or as a decorative centerpiece. The classic grapevine motifs symbolize abundance and hospitality, making it perfect for serving guests or displaying in a vintage-themed setting.

Era & History:
Crafted in the mid-20th century, likely between the 1940s–1960s, this set embodies the post-war era's appreciation for decorative yet functional household items. Knickerbocker Silver Co., a New York-based company, was known for producing high-quality silver-plated wares, often using timeless motifs such as grapes to evoke elegance and tradition.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with signs of use, including surface scratches and tarnish consistent with age. The silver-plated surfaces retain their shine, and the craftsmanship is well-preserved. Polishing is left to the discretion of the buyer to maintain the set's patina.

Dimensions:

  • Tray: 14" diameter
  • Pitcher: 12" H x 6" W x 8 1/2" D
  • Goblets: 6 1/2" H
