Author	Topic: Sheridan Taunton Platter Question
Debbie unregistered	posted 11-22-2003 04:32 AM [01-1317] I came across this platter and have looked all over trying to find out if it is plated or not? It does not have any markings besides a Lion with Sheridan and the words Taunton Silversmiths LTD. Here are some pics of the platter and the marking: Does anyone know if this is a recent piece or older? Silver or plated? I have not had much luck finding anything about this company. Thanks!!

Taunton has been in business since 1974. This appears to represent a merger of the two firms, or a joint production. The design is of the type featured throughout the 20th century. IP: Logged
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 11-22-2003 07:46 PM Taunton Silversmiths were bought out by Lenox, I think in the 1970s. Lenox's manager in turn bought out the company in 1984 and then sold it in 1991. In August 1993, the plant was destroyed by fire. I guess that as a consequence of this, Taunton then created Creative Gifts International as a marketing rather than manufacturing concern. Your tray may in fact be imported. IP: Logged
