This striking set of three sterling silver candy dishes by Reed & Barton exemplifies the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Mid-Century Modern design. Manufactured in 1953 and each hallmarked accordingly, the dishes are triangular in shape with softly rounded edges, creating a sleek and sculptural silhouette. Measuring approximately 7 inches by 5 inches, each dish is entirely free of ornamentation—no engraving, chasing, or decorative flourishes—allowing the purity of form and the subtle luster of sterling silver to take center stage. The surfaces are smooth and unadorned, reflecting light beautifully and emphasizing the streamlined elegance characteristic of the era. On the underside, each dish is clearly stamped Reed & Barton and Sterling, affirming their provenance and material. A perfect representation of postwar American modernism, these pieces are both functional and highly collectible.
