[26-1484] At first I want to ask if this object is silverplated and is it possible that a member can tell about:
-In which period? -Where it's used for? This pattern is 4.3 inch wide at the bottom, about 7.5 inches wide at the top, and about 3.2 inches high. Two handles are missing but I couldn't pass this object in the shop. I found the shape nice and after cleaning it the silverplate is in rather good condition. The material is thin a totally this object weight 200 grams. In the bottom is the letter V and number 3653? engraved. Perhaps(I learned from another topic question) that the letter V can mean that the object has been imported to Holland? If I see five lily's made in ring of the top. Perhaps this object is produced in France? I hope I've explained it well and I look forward to get any reaction about this object. One photo's will be included. IP: Logged |

Second information of this object is that the lily's ornaments are soldered at the upper side ring. And a part of the bottom (lowest ring) is also soldered at the part of the basin/bowl. I think some photo's gives a better explanation. IP: Logged |

Certainly could be wrong, but my first thought from how it looks and the fact that it's so thin is that it's not plated but solid silver. The engraved letter-number is sometimes called a scratch-code, and usually is some kind of inventory control system, either in a shop or sometimes even a household. Look around the rim and footring for a mark, but sometimes pieces are just not marked and you have to have them tested to be sure.... IP: Logged |

FWG, Thank you for your quick answer, now I'm curious of course, tomorrow I will let check it out by the local jewelery shop. It was totally dirt, when I bought it today. The handles are broken and I thought perhaps they stamped the marks in one of them. But like you wrote, I have checked the rim at the bottom and it's hard to see or find a mark. I am also curious what they used this model/pattern for? In which country it is made and in which period? Is this also made by machinery for shaping the pattern? The backside is grooved. I hope I get an answer about these questions, if I know something more about it I will write it down at this topic. Greetings, IP: Logged |
