Collector’s Note:

Paramount Plate was a respected mid-20th-century maker of EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) tableware, known for quality plating and hand-finished craftsmanship. Their pieces were widely used in Australian homes, hotels, and tearooms from the 1930s through the 1950s. “Warranted Hand Soldered” marks indicate superior manual joining methods that ensured durability — a hallmark of genuine pre-war and post-war quality.
