[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 266216, member: 136"]TooMany, I don't know for sure if it's solid silver or plate, but I can say that there is no wear to any part of it. I have a LOT of silver, and generally, I am fairly sure when something is plated. With this cup & saucer, all I can say is that when it tarnishes, it does NOT look like plate, if that makes any sense. (There's so often a brownish tinge on plate that rarely appears on real silver.) Nonetheless, I honestly don't know. What I [I]do[/I] know is that my guests were not well-to-do by any means, and if it IS silver, I'd be sad that they spent that kind of money on ME! If I could get a better photo of the marks, would that help? Can you tell me, too, which way the mark should go? (I am embarrassed to admit that I have no idea.) Thanks very much![/QUOTE]
