I found 4 goblets/chalice that my grandmother had that appear to be silver but I'm not sure as I can't find any information on the marking that is on the bottom of each goblet [India P134].

The goblets are etched or maybe it's engraved with like a crest and flowers on 2 sides with ribbons.

They polished up very nicely.

Not sure if the pics are even big enough for you to see the detail on the goblet and stem. The colors in the pics are definitely not accurate because the goblets are silver in color (the pics are picking up the photographer like a reflection). The color of the whole goblet is the color of the stem bottom. Also, each goblet has a different number of markings. For instance, one goblet has 4 circles on the stem bottom and another has 5 then another has 6 then another has 3. Same with the circles around the "crest." One goblet has 9 around the crest. Another goblet has 13, etc.

I'd like to be able to tell my daughter something about these goblets but I can't seem to find any info.

Thank you.
