Hi,

My parents gave me 12 goblet type of silverplate? cups. Here is the pic of the markings. I can't seem to find anything on them?

To respond to your question as to whether they are silver plated or silver, they are plated. The EPNS stands for Electro Plated Nickel Silver which means they are made of a nickel based alloy and were electro-plated with silver.
