No, it's actually silver plate. The original pattern was created in 1881, probably by one of the many Rogers labels. Today the patterns are re-created by Oneida and International Silver. I have a set of this silverware marked "1881 Rogers A1" and unraveled the history after a lot of research. My particular pattern is called "Scotia" and was made in 1915, but I obviously thought it was from 1881. If there is a "sterling" mark on the silver, you have sterling.However, most of the Rogers pieces are silver plate. If there is an "IS" marking, check International Silver for the pattern.
Yes, William Rogers silverware is typically made from sterling silver, which is composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. However, some pieces may be silver-plated rather than solid sterling. To confirm if a specific item is sterling silver, look for the "925" or "sterling" mark on the piece. If it only has a "Wm. Rogers" mark, it may be silver-plated instead.
Yes it is sterling silver
If the bowl is stamped "sterling," it is genuine sterling silver, not silver plate.

The value of Rogers sterling silverware can vary significantly based on factors such as the specific pattern, age, condition, and market demand. Typically, pieces marked "Rogers" may not be sterling silver but rather silver-plated, which generally have lower value. Authentic sterling silverware by Rogers, especially in complete sets, can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. To get an accurate appraisal, it's best to consult a professional or check recent sales of similar items.
No. That particular pattern is electroplated silver on a base metal (probably copper). FB Rogers Co. made good quality silver plated products that feels like sterling due to being very heavy and durable. There were only a few patterns made of real sterling. The registered pattern numbers are 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 and 1636. The genuine silver version will have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom of each piece. If it doesn't say "sterling," it isn't.
Yes
sterling I have a set of Wm Rogers & Son AA in front of me and it is definitely silverplate. So it is not necessarily sterling.

Chantilly is a pattern. Sterling silver is not pure silver, it is 925 parts out of a thouand, or 92.5% silver
