<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 140123, member: 111&quot;]I think it&#039;s a fox, and a lovely piece of silver - can&#039;t make out the last mark, but the Gorham lion/anchor/G is a form that usually dates from 1898 to well into the 20th century; the &#039;D&#039; code was used for silver on glass wares from 1898 until around 1907, its use as a suffix rather than prefix indicates manufacture at the small New York City shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice that you want to save it, a glass restorer should be able remove it and fit it back onto another bowl of the same size, likely having to do a little grinding or filling - wouldn&#039;t think it be terribly difficult to find a similar ABCG bowl at a reasonable price.&nbsp; Will also mention an old friend&#039;s solution in a similar case, a rather wonderful French Art Nouveau silver mount from a shattered glass vase - being a skilled wood worker, he turned a beautiful walnut bowl to fit the mount.&nbsp; The silver over the wood was just gorgeous, while he lamented the loss of the pricey vase, he always said he hadn&#039;t really appreciated the silver until creating his &#039;make-do&#039;...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
