I agree with your assessment. I posed the question because I've seen similarly made items called repousse, and it confused me.
I'd guess you aren't from Alabama.
As I work my way through this stuff, I'm finding a few things that I like a lot! This is one of them. Bowl by William B. Kerr, 9.5 inches from...

Thank you for your help. WOW! That much in 2008? I hope it has appreciated since then!
If someone could look up this piece of Reed & Barton and share the sale price and date sold with me, I would appreciate it. STERLING SILVER REED...
