Hello,
Can anyone identify this mark. It was suggested to me that this is the old logo for Van Cleef & Arpels. The mark is an upper case V with a lower case c and lower case a inside the V. Tried to duplicate the V below:

\ c /
\a/
\/

There is also the word sterling stamped above it.

The mark is on a decorative bowl called a compote dish. This particular compote dish has a grid on top for holding flowers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I could not provide a photo. (I cannot figure out a location to store the photo so it is accessible!)

Sounds like it might be for Clarence A. Vanderbilt of NY, NY, in business from 1909-35.

Agree it is Clarence A. Vanderbilt
Logo looks like the letter "V", with the letter c over the letter A inside the V
