F.B. Rogers Silver-Plated Grapevine Stem Goblet

This is a vintage silver-plated wine goblet or stemmed chalice, specifically produced by the F.B. Rogers Silver Company and manufactured in Spain. The piece is constructed from a base metal, likely brass or copper, which has been plated with silver. Its silhouette features a tall, flared conical bowl that tapers down to a highly decorative cast stem. The stem is the defining feature, exhibiting a detailed grapevine or 'grape cluster' motif, a classic design element common in mid-to-late 20th-century barware. The item sits on a simple, circular pedestal base that provides stability. Regarding its condition, the goblet shows significant oxidation and heavy dark tarnish across the bowl and base, typical of vintage silver plate that has not been polished recently. There are visible areas where the silver plating appears to be thinning or worn (plate loss), especially around the base rim, revealing the darker base metal beneath. No structural dents or repairs are immediately apparent, but the surface shows general age-related pitting. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-produced but high-quality mid-century aesthetic, likely dating from the 1960s to the 1980s. The 'Spain' manufacture mark (indicated in the context but not visible in the photo) was a common origin for these specific heavy-gauge plated items distributed by F.B. Rogers.
