I once found a blackened footed bowl for a buck at a thrift. I saw a faint marking so bought it. When I cleaned it,it was a Mexican made sterling fruit bowl,so tarnish,coloring can&#039;t always determine the metal as being plated vs sterling <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
