[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 148819, member: 111"]Probably just a coincidence that "Av. Juarez Y Luis Moya" is an intersection in Mexico City's historic district, with Avenida Juarez noted as an exclusive shopping area in the 1940s-60s, the shops including one called 'Plateria Alameda' (Plateria 'whatever' isn't uncommon on Mexican silver)... If you can't find any marks, then there's a good possibility that it's silverplate - if you want to entertain the possibility that it might be of Mexican origin, will say that I've seen that fancy edge decoration on mid 20th century Mexican silver and silverplate both (more often holloware, but your ladle may have matched another piece). ~ Cheryl [URL]https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_Juárez_(Centro_Histórico_de_la_Ciudad_de_México)[/URL][/QUOTE]
