<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 9795834, member: 111"]'Argento', or 'Argenta' as on these pieces means 'Silver', 'Argentato' would indicate silverplate. The small mark on the left, as Bakersgma already suggested, is an Italian silver mark, looks to be '898 MI', would be .800 silver by a registered Milan maker (the shield under 'ARGENTA' is a biscione, a traditional symbol of Milan). Sorry don't know the name of maker '898', nor can I decipher the script name, which could be an artist rather than maker...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
