<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 2394578, member: 15376&quot;]Not a new find per se, my mother has had this sitting in the living room for a couple of years, however I didn&#039;t know it was marked until last night and had some time this morning to research it. Turns out the pretty but nothing special decorative item she got for 2 euros at a car boot sale is a Meriden quad sliver plated sugar bowl made in the 1870s. The company was started in 1869 so that would make this quite an early piece. I haven&#039;t been able to get an exact year on it, but I saw an ebay ad where a similar 1870s bowl was marked 1423, and if they&#039;re all individually stamped (as if I&#039;m remembering correctly they were) then that would make this in the same era. Any ideas on the S engraving or is that just been done by someone after manufacture? Hmm.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]262977[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]262976[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
