Manufacturers such as the F.B. Rogers Silver Company produced extensive lines of trays, tea sets, and bowls utilizing durable base metals electroplated with a fine layer of silver. These pieces often featured traditional decorative styles, borrowing heavily from 18th-century English rococo and Chippendale designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe elaborate floral chasing and scrolled borders seen on these trays were typically applied using mechanical rolling presses combined with hand-chasing to create intricate relief patterns.
