Re: Unique Vintage 10 inch tall 24oz Silver Art - Identify

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. I've come across many of these centrepieces before, and when they're not marked, they are always plated. Trev.

Hi dog nose… The wing nuts (wing thumb screws) used to hold the leaves on at the base look like ones I've just found from the year 1869.

We've had this in the family for only around 15 years and a few years ago took it around to some antique shops but no one knew anything about it. A couple of people who have looked at it said they thought it was from the late 1800's.

Thanks again.

I have not found any markings besides what looks like maybe a 3 and or 8 but it's very difficult to make out what it is. The base is just under 8 inches in dia...
