I am seeking information on the following mark. The piece is a large tray 29 1/2 handle to handle, with 18 1/2"
I believe it is Silver plate but do not know. I am seeking any information on maker and origin. Other items found are stamped "Made in Sheffield England"
Any help is appreciated.





Thank you in advance for any information.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

To my knowledge that is a still to be identified silver plater's mark.

Are you saying that you have others items with this mark that also have "Made in Sheffield England" applied to them?

Hello and thank you,

I am sorry for the confusion. The large tray is the only piece that I found the marks I posted. I was making reference to a "Made in Sheffield" mark I have found on other items in our collection. I have photos here that shows the other mark in question. I am assuming they too are silver plate marks but don't know. It is interesting because I have another pot that has the identical mark "Made in Sheffield" yet below it there is an additional "EPNS", not shown in the photos below. I understand the plating mark on one but the other here I don't know if it could be sterling. Thank you for your help.

Hi ~ The tray is almost certainly American silverplate, most likely mid-20th century - have seen that mark attributed to Continental Silver of Brooklyn, NY, and it seems quite likely, given the resemblance to another of their marks, but haven't seen a verified identification or done any real research. The teapot is silverplate rather than sterling, which would bear proper British hallmarks.

Thank you. It makes a little sense. I believe the tray and tea pot belonged to my great grandmother. They were from Oxford, MA. Both items were passed down to my mother. I am 60 so I believe they are vintage. I did find the mark you made reference to being from Continental listed as a "unidentifiable American Silver plate mark". The tray is very heavy. The tea pot is interesting in that I can't find any manufacture associated with the mark. The small triangular shape has my attention yet I am just learn and a bit lost.
Thank you for your response
