I have a beautiful set I inherited from my grandmother. It is very ornate with roses and flowers all over it and it includes all of the serving pieces including the carving set. I have been unable to find the marking in the encyclopedia but it has a marking of a profile of an indian brave head with a feather that runs down the back, I would be grateful if someone could tell me who the maker is. Thank you
