    Hi, I'm new to antiques, but was wanting to learn. I have a few old Elvis decanter bottles, does anyone know if they are worth anything? I also have a silver (800 silver) caviar dish that I'm trying to sell on ebay.

    Thanks for the welcome, King. Here's some photos of the caviar server:

    I'll try to upload a better picture of the hallmarks tomorrow, maybe one of you might recognize it? I'll also upload some pictures of the Elvis decanters tmrw, when I can take some pictures.

    Thank you all for the welcome ;) I've already also learned on this forum that my Caviar dish is actually a confiturier, or "jam bowl".

    Hi,
    You may check to see if your bowl and spoons might be a sugar bowl and spoons.

    Yes, some others on this forum said it also may be a sugar bowl but makes more sense as a jam bowl since it had 12 spoons.

    Finally polished it up some and got a decent picture. Does anyone recognize these Hallmarks?
