I have been told that this forum contains much knowledge. So can you please assist me? In my possesion I have this the-pot. I have had this from my grandparents. The sentimental value is important. My grandparrents were married on April 1st fact on this very day today. Today would have been their 68 years wedding day.
As I have been told - at their wedding they received a gift from an uncle his name was A.P Rilo and he was a waiter at a restaurant in Boston. I dont know which restaurant but I believ that it was located close to the place where the "Museum of fine arts in Boston" is located. He was a waiter and we therefore think that the set is some sort of restaurant silver. The mark could be the name of the restaurant? I think that one or two letters are missing. Rest of the name is PEVERE or could ne FEVERE - but someting must be missing in front. The missing letters makes it difficuld to google.
The uncle appered at the wedding and gave the bride a the-pot and a suger and cream set. Alle 3 items and the tray was made as a set and they all had the restaurants name stamped at the bottom. As mentioned we always believed that it was restaurant siver - electroplated as it have no sterling mark. We also believ that the set was made around 1900. My grandmother alway said that the useless uncle gave a used gift. Even it look nice it was still used and that is not a pressent for a wedding.
When my grandparrents died - that is five years ago today - they both died on the same day and it was their wedding day. Spooky or a sign of love? I find it to be love and care, my brother says it is spooky.
We received their things among others I received the the-pot and my brother had the sugar and cream set included the tray.
My brother had no sentimental feelings so he went to a second-hand shop and sold - what we learned was silver - the sugar & cream set and the tray. I am sorry to say that the 4 parts today are seperated. Therefor I went to the second hand shop to bye the sugar cream and tray. However I was to late - all 3 part have already been melted and recycled. Since I have been searching - but no luck.
My question is - does anyone know name of the set? and nationality? do you know the restaurant? but most off all do you know where I can buy the missing parts. I would like to complete the set that my uncentimental brother have seperated. The things he received are gone, there must excist similar - the question is where to find?
Here you see the restaurant mark? - and it is solid silver. Even without the sterling mark. So much I know. And a picture of the the-pot.
Any help would be most appreciated. I will be traveling for the next few days but I will answer all questions upon my return in a few days.
Thanks in advance and I hope that one of you can help me in my search.
