This looks pretty high quality and well made to me.. do you think so? What makes a piece of silver better quality.
The brass liner and the compote are both stamped with the number 4.. I guess to keep the pieces matched up? Does that indicate if may have been part of a larger set typically?
Is a compote used for serving fruit usually?
