<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 868932, member: 1067"]Found this lovely bowl today at the Charity Shop. It’s fairly thin with a slight give when you push it, (thanks MRNATE) the verdigris came off with a bit of effort, I think it was probably from something stored next to it. I’ve acid tested it (my first time) and it is silver but whether it’s 900, 925 or 800 I don’t know because there are no other marks except for the word silver on the base. It weighs 675grams, 5inches tall, 13 inches long and 11 inches wide.</p><p>Any ideas about possible age from style etc and where it might have been made please anyone? Last 3 pictures and the first one are before cleaning.</p><p>I don’t usually find anything like this in the Charity shops as most U.K. silver is fully hallmarked and people living here will likely have seen all the antique shows at some time but are much less knowledgeable about other items made elsewhere.</p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]198048[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]198039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198044[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 868932, member: 1067"]Found this lovely bowl today at the Charity Shop. It’s fairly thin with a slight give when you push it, (thanks MRNATE) the verdigris came off with a bit of effort, I think it was probably from something stored next to it. I’ve acid tested it (my first time) and it is silver but whether it’s 900, 925 or 800 I don’t know because there are no other marks except for the word silver on the base. It weighs 675grams, 5inches tall, 13 inches long and 11 inches wide. Any ideas about possible age from style etc and where it might have been made please anyone? Last 3 pictures and the first one are before cleaning. I don’t usually find anything like this in the Charity shops as most U.K. silver is fully hallmarked and people living here will likely have seen all the antique shows at some time but are much less knowledgeable about other items made elsewhere. ~ [ATTACH=full]198048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]198044[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
