[QUOTE="whatmamahad, post: 271919, member: 979"]Hi , How did you test the bowl? Acid? Magnet? Unless you are an expert in Metallurgy, I would have a jeweler test it. If it is sterling silver, don't clean it. Based on 30 years experience handling, inspecting and appraising sterling silver items, I would be surprised if the bowl is authentic 925 silver. Good news. I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]
