T & Co. E.P.N.S. ????

Post by shell-b88 »

Hello. I am new to this site and I truly hope I can find some help. I have this piece (have no idea what it is) and it is stamped, "T & Co. E.P.N.S.". There is also a mark of some kind that follows, which looks like 2 sideways, elongated triangles. This piece measure 7 inches tall, at the highest point, and has a span that is just shy of 10 inches.
I have searched the internet, but have found nothing of the sort. Could it be that this piece is a fake? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

It's the frame for a glass fruit bowl, not sure what type of fake you think it might be, if you're thinking it's Tiffany, don't believe so, though I've seen T. & Co. on some of their smaller sterling items. Looks like that might be a period before the "T", perhaps there was another letter that wasn't struck. Posting a picture of a similar current production ElectroPlated Nickel Silver piece, with the stabilizing ring for the bowl at the lip rather than the base.
