I just inherited a silver tantalus containing 2 crystal decanters. I was told the tantalus is sterling, but can find only 1 mark (on the top of the tantalus). It is a shield, inside which is a winged archer (Cupid?) pointing his bow and arrow toward the right. The numbers "2026" (or it may be "2025") are underneath the mark. Can anyone tell me anything about this mark? Is this sterling? Thanks!
