I have a sugar bowl that I have been trying to identify for quite a while. It is about 5 in. high and the handles are looped to resemble a loving cup. The top 3/4 in. is scored and fluted (like the edge of a pie). The very top edge is serrated. The inside of the bowl is a golden/brass color. The hallmark on the bottom says-"Sterling, S F CAL" There is also what appears to be the Great Seal of California just below the letters.

I am very curious. I obtained this sugar bowl about 25 years ago in a box of "junk" that I bought at an auction in Northern Calif. There was a large dent in it and was very tarnished. I had it cleaned and repaired and promptly put it away. Having just moved to Arizona recently I came across it and my interest was once again renewed.

I plan on keeping this item as it looks very attractive next to my other little "treasures".

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Can anyone help me to identify this bowl?

Thanks

You have a piece of California-made sterling silver by Schulz & Fischer of San Francisco. They used the Great Seal as a trademark on their holloware. I'll dig out some additional information for you tomorrow.
