In 1947, Reed Barton, an American silversmith and designer, created the iconic "Barton Silver Plate" line, which featured high-quality silver-plated flatware and serving pieces. This collection became known for its craftsmanship and innovative designs, helping to establish Barton as a prominent name in the silverware industry. His work contributed to the popularity of mid-20th century American silver plate.
