Help with marks on bowl
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 9:09 pm
I believe this to be solid silver and not plated. However, cannot find anything regarding the marks on this bowl. It's beautifully done. The work is intricate. It's reticulated with raised draping rosettes, and scrolls and birds all worked into the design of the bowl and foot. Measures 6 7/8" wide x 2 3/8 tall. There is a 4 letter punch mark on the base, G (under a crown), P (under a different crown) and RI (inside a shield, under yet a another crown). Not sure if this is American. Any help is greatly appreciated.
