A Reed & Barton silver-plated lotus flower shaped floral frog, model 3002.

Reed & Barton is a historic American silversmith founded in 1824 in Taunton, Massachusetts. The company is renowned for its high-quality sterling silver and silver-plated flatware, hollowware, and decorative items. Throughout its long history, Reed & Barton has been associated with craftsmanship and elegant design, producing pieces that are often collected for their aesthetic appeal and historical significance. The 'model 3002' designation corresponds to a specific pattern within Reed & Barton's catalog, possibly from their mid-century hollowware or decorative accessories line. The lotus flower motif, combined with the maker's mark, suggests a piece intended for both functional use in floral arrangements and as a decorative accent.
