    Hi everyone! Got a chance to go hit a few stores, and I came across this large dish; at first glance I didn't see any marks, but it looked good so I inspected it more closely. I'll post some more details once I polish it up, can you see the marks??????

    Great eyes Hollyblue! I'm still polishing, but I had to take a break since you found the marks, here they are:

    I thought that too, but I thought I spotted an hourglass. Goes to show you how much I know about marks - nothing.

    Okay, polishing is finally complete and this piece officially moved from ugly duckling to beautiful dish. Total weight is 420 grams 800 silver made by Lavorato A Mano (italy?). I managed to grab this one for $5, because obviously they didn't see the tiny mark. I hope you enjoy the photos:

    "Lavorato a mano" is Italian for "worked by hand" or hand made. That's not the maker.

    Bicchielli & Pasquini in Florence - the Italian 'star' mark indicates 1968 or later production, the '569 FI' on this piece used until 1994, newer production '1307 FI'...
