I was curious (and envious), so did a little research.innostrantsaMarch 6 2017, 19:23:31 UTC
So I know those are 1937 prices, but still, I dream of having a silver service and full china for daily/fancy person use, and wanted to know what modern-day prices would be for these items. Here we go...
SILVER SERVICE
Sterling silver sauce bowl: $15.50 then, $267.30 now Ladle: $4.00 then, $68.98 now Compotier: $39.00 then, $672.56 now Kettle/Stand/Lamp: $215.00 then, $3707.71 now Teapot: $90.00 then, $1552.06 now Sugar bowl: $57.00 then, $982.97 now Cream pitcher: $32.00 then, $551.84 now 22" tea tray (expensive!): $340.00 then, $5863.35 now... that's some damn spendy tea service, ye gods. Traveling clock: $49.00 then, $845.01 now Minton China plates, per dozen: $48.00 then, $827.77 now.
Now I'm not anything like well versed on the prices of silver, so won't comment-- but the modern price for the china plates (and only the plates, no place setting package) is well in line with costs for higher-end china, if at the lower spread of that.
GLASSWARE
Claret, per dozen: $10.00 then, $172.45 now, a reasonable price for
