<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 60572, member: 308"]Sorry for the delay. We went out for Chinese food and by the time we got it was dark. I see much better in the daytime. Anyway, I was unable to find any sign of gilt in the interior. I soaked it in Dawn for awhile and it does look a little better. I can give it a thorough cleaning if that won't ruin the value. I bought this spray stuff at an antique show and it melts the tarnish right off. I did do some light cleaning on the base but was still unable to find any hallmarks - just lots of little dings. I think you're right about silverplate as there may be some areas on the base where the silver has worn away. </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
