I recently went to a garage sale and bought a beautiful planter approximately 10 inches high and 8 inches wide with the handles. It appears to be some type of decorative planter. There is another piece, that of like aluminum or other metal that slips into the decorative planter, this is what would hold the dirt, soil and plant, thus keeping it away from contact with the outside planter. It has severe tarnish and I am having a hard time cleaning it. On the bottom though I have this inscription: "Spring Flowers" followed by the signature of WM Rogers and Son on the bottom of the planter on the inside. What have I came across? All I know is I bought it for its beauty, and I only paid $1.00 for it. Please tell me what you can? Thank You very much I appreciate any information!!! IP: Logged |

Could it be "Spring Flower" rather than "Spring Flowers"? Is there a number stamped below the "Wm. Rogers & Son"? Perhaps something like "2050" or "2051"? Which is the tarnished and marked piece, the inside piece or the outside piece? I'm confused. [This message has been edited by Stephen (edited 04-17-2003).] IP: Logged |

It sounds like you have a Spring Flower pattern wine cooler. Spring Flower was a silverplate holloware and flatware pattern introduced by the International Silver Co. in 1956. List price for these wine coolers was about $80.00 -- "aluminum liner for flowers included". This was about twice the price of a coffee pot or a teapot in the same pattern. IP: Logged |

The price I quoted was from an early 1960s International catalog (described in the catalog as "Retail"). Different pattern, but the same item. If you'd like to post your photos, click on "How to Post Photos" at the top of this page. Photos are always welcome. IP: Logged |
