Let’s delve into its fascinating history: Origins : The Oneida Community, founded in New York in the mid-19th century, was a unique religious commune . Their aim was to create a utopian society based on cooperative living and shared ideals. Out of this community, Oneida emerged as a key manufacturer of silver-plated flatware . Silver Plating : The process involves applying a thin layer of silver to an alloy of base metals. Oneida’s Community Plate was one of its first hallmarks. The flatware is marked with the words “Community Plate” along with several Oneida hallmarks . So, when you encounter Community Plate , you’re holding a piece of history—a legacy from a utopian vision that transcends time. 🍴✨ This 85-piece set includes: 17 Butter Knives 22 Dinner Forks 17 Salad/Dessert Forks 12 Teaspoons 9 Soup Spoons 5 Pieces of Serve Ware - 3 Spoons, 1 Fork, 1 Pie Server 2 Butter Spreaders 1 Sugar Spoon Previously owned flatware and case in good condition.
