Silver plated?

[remb1000]

Hello everyone.

I was offered this nice tea pot from a French lady.

My question is:

Is it real silver or just silver plated???

It says on it: (Argent qualiter superieure) or in English (Silver superior quality).

It is signed but to be honest I can't make out the signature.

There are green stains as you can tell from the pics.

Is this a definite sign that it is plated?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Rob

Silver plated without a doubt, it would be the same as like Sheffield Plating to some extent.
