    If not wrong the first ones read เงิน1 or Ngoen, Thai for Silver. What’t the common silver content in Thailand, greater or lower than sterling? Not sure what’s the number 1 for, first grade or something?
    Then is the weight, given in Baht, บาท. The smaller bowls are approx. 5-5.2 ounces so if one Baht is about 15 grams, all looks right as here we have 10 Baht.
    Not sure how is the weight written on the big bowl. Can’t make the number, Looks like M0 or so. The bowl is about 15.2 ouces.

    Should I sell separately or as a set?

    Could be ๓๐ that is 30 in Thai numerals.

    Depends on the weight. I think if the pattern are the same or could be symmetric, you can try to sell the large one as single, four smaller ones as two pairs, so that will be totally 3 lots.
    Try different places, platforms or regions to sell, which can help you attract different buyers.

    They are kind of the same pattern. Listed last night as a set on E.B.
    Auction started at $99.
    Only few views so far. I hope they sell decently for 1 kilo of silver. If they sell below scrap value I’ll just quit selling and start melting, antique, rare, whatever....

    I suspect they will not quite reach scrap price.They appear fairly modern with that type of prick/dot 'engraving'.

    Since the assay is uncertain, as a buyer I'd play safe
    Best of luck.

    Hello kardinalisimo. I am sorry it has taken a while to get back to you.

    Photo 2 says: Silver No. 1 Weight 10 Baht. (10 is in western numeral)
    Photo 3 says: Silver No. 1 Weight 30 Baht. (30 is in Thai numeral)

    Baht (same spelling as Thai currency) is the measure of silver and equals 15.244 grams. Therefore:
    Photo 2 is 10 x 15.244 = 152.44 grams.
    Photo 3 is 30 x 15.244 = 457.32 grams.

    I hope this helps.
