The form and decoration — tall tapering shape, etched bird and floral band, hinged lid, and ornate finial — suggest it was made between 1880 and 1910, aligning with the Aesthetic Movement period.

If the underside also includes “IS” (for International Silver), it’s likely post-1898.


If it only says “Wm. Rogers & Bro” without “IS,” it’s likely pre-1898, making it Victorian-era and somewhat more collectible.
