<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 9432305, member: 5515"]You win best answer!!!! And that was the clue that was most important to me when deciding how much to risk on this piece. I guess my best theory for those lines is that the solder is a different purity of silver. When the piece is fully polished, you can't see the solder joints, but when the pitcher gets tarnished, the solder lines start to stand out because the different purity's react differently over time. And I have seen that production technique and the lines and the style with silver from Mexico. So here's what was under the sticker once I received it, total weight is 1,214 grams:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]435815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435817[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
