I've looked everywhere for the hallmarks on this piece. Since finding none, I have acid- tested silver purity to confirm I could safely call this sterling. Guaranteed as solid silver alloy of at least 90%.
Dimensions:
2.5" diameter x 1" deep, excluding wire hanging device. Spigot pin is 2.75" long. Wire handle adds 2" in height.
Not weighted.
Condition: Excellent giftable condition. No monogram or inscription. Most notable issues are 1) a ping on the bowl's outside bottom as shown in photo #x, and 2) Bend in hanger wire as shown in photo #x. No other reportable issues, such as flat spots, nicks, dents, pings, dings, bashes, unusual scratches, bends, monogram removals, carbon spots, or other blemishes. Faint surface abrasions create patina consistent with age and use. Pattern is still crisp and not worn away. Recent thorough hand polish.

Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
