[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 869948, member: 1067"]I’ve done the magnet and tested in two places, rubbed the stone on the edge of the base and the top rim, can’t see anything sandwiched in between so I’m still hopeful. Some of the heavy green verdigris had to be carefully scraped off with the edge of a scalpel blade and still nothing peeled off underneath and has polished up well with no ill effects, you can’t see where it was now. The lathe spun bottom is something I’ve seen on antique brass candlesticks, and I got the impression once from an auctioneer that was fine with these items but I know very little about this. If you do find your piece I’d like to see it please and hope you have good luck with yours. I was a bit bothered about some of the repousse silver work, looks as if they made an error in the crosshatching. You can see how thin the top edge is too.[ATTACH=full]198155[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]198156[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
