[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 364669, member: 111"]Suspect Secessionist designers would turn in their graves at these pieces being described as part of that movement... Everything about this set (incomplete with only the pot, creamer and waste bowl) screams circa 1870s American 'Aesthetic' silverplate, this one appearing to be sort of an eclectic mix of Egyptian and Gothic elements. Have seen the design fairly often, it's a Reed & Barton pattern, the pseudo-marks most likely stamped by a retailer and intended to insinuate a better quality than electroplate. I have the patent somewhere in my files, will post as soon as I dig them out... ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
