<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arun, post: 530840, member: 10096&quot;]Thank you all for being very welcoming. I have bad sentencing in my previous posts mostly due to auto correct on phone! I was looking around to find the purity mark of a silver utensil I was about to buy from an old foundry in South India. I chanced on this post from Google. The tea cups are lovely; although I do wonder how they held hot tea in a silver cup (<i>very</i> good conductor of heat)! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After I saw the questions raised in this post (which I had myself when I was told the silver was 100% pure), I took it upon myself to meet the craftsmen there to get an explanation on why it would survive a reckless owner. He explained to me in a few minutes how small utensils with less weight can be designed for strength much like corrugated metal roof sheets whose sinuous nature increases it&#039;s strength. And of course, the plain designs need higher thickness (hence weight) to be resilient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
