Notes From Worthpoint: In 1852, the Meriden Britannia Company was established in Meriden, Connecticut. As its name suggests, its primary focus, at least for a time, was the production of wares made of Britannia metal. However, the firm was also a purveyor of sterling silver and silver-plated wares of exceptional quality. The initial and monumental success of Meriden Britannia Company can be attributed to the quality of its products and the intensity of its marketing campaigns. After two decades of existence, and significant expansion over that reasonably short period, the Meriden Britannia Company won first place at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia for its silver-plated wares.
