South Seas (1955) — Community / Oneida

Introduced in 1955 by Community (a division of Oneida), South Seas is one of the most iconic mid‑century modern silverplate patterns. Its clean, mirrored finish and geometric “seaside breeze” motif at the handle base made it a standout in the 1950s design landscape. The pattern blends Danish Modern influence with a subtle coastal feel — crisp, airy, and unmistakably modern. Discontinued in 1965, South Seas remains highly collectible and beloved for its sculptural simplicity.
