I bought this pretty reticulated tray at a yard sale. The only marking on the back is "Nobility". Is this a maker's name or is it the Nobility...
So cool, and yay me! This was in a batch of British silverplate I got last week at an online auction, so it was impossible to examine anything...
Wait a sec ... does that mean this thing is real silver, and not plate as I had assumed? (Please, please say it's sterling).

Yes - Peruvian pottery. Thank you.
Thank you all for the help. I also thought possibly Monmouth, but I thought they were always marked.
