Dating to the late Victorian era (circa 1890s), this centerpiece features a brilliantly cut/pressed colorless glass insert housed in an ornate base. The underside of the base is fully stamped with historic makers' marks: • EPBM: Stands for Electro-Plated Britannia Metal, a high-quality alloy base blanketed in pure silver. • WR / New York: The signature stamp for the renowned maker William A. Rogers. • 0176: The original factory pattern and mold designation. • The William A. Rogers Legacy: Founded in New York City in 1894, William A. Rogers grew from a small shopkeeper's venture into one of the most successful silver-plating companies of the turn of the century, eventually merging to form Wm. A. Rogers, Ltd. in 1901 and later being absorbed by Oneida in 1929. Pieces stamped specifically with the early "New York" mark represent the brand's earliest independent production period (c. 1894–1901). • Victorian Table Culture: In the late 19th century, pickle castors were highly prized status symbols displayed prominently on the tables of well-to-do families. They were used to serve pickled fruits and vegetables prepared by the household staff. Pickup category timeslot {A}
