Here we have a vintage dish and saucer from the Benedict Mfg. Co. of East Syracuse NY. These two dishes from Benedict are E.P.N.S.(Electroplated Nickel Silver), B.M.M..
Here is an article describing the introduction to the Georgian line of dishes, which is these two dishes:
The Seventeenth Annual A.N.R.J.A. Gathering Held at Cincinnati Aug, 29-Sept. 1, 1922
The Benedict Mfg. Co., East Syracuse, N. Y., had an extensive exhibit at the convention. A small display was maintained in room 278 of the main exhibit floor in charge of A. F. Saunders while a much larger exhibit was made in room 850 with Wm. A. Van Patten in charge. Salad bowls, candles, coffee sets, vegetable dishes and most all table holloware were shown in the Georgian and Adam patterns of the Benedict Period Plate. A large line of desk sets and smokers' articles in Tabard Silver, Tabard Brass and Tabard Bronze were shown.

The saucer measures 6 1/8" in diameter, and the dish measures, just under 4" in diameter, and 2 1/8" in height.
The two dishes are in great condition with some tarnishing which can be polished. There is a very fine, detailed, elaborate rim on both pieces which appear to be of small branches and flowers.
