    That looks more 1970s than deco .

    Ditto. Not Art Deco, but 1970s Modernist imo. Really nice though.

    I'm a copper girl; if I found that I'd wear it. It's very 70s into the 80s.

    If it was made in the USA before 2000 it would have been illegal to mark it sterling.

    Silver soldered with brass/copper parts was considered a solid piece,so the actual silver content on your piece might be around 55 percent and not the 92.5 of sterling. If the brass/copper pieces were riveted to the back plate it could be marked sterling.

    Probably the Asian category, if not Pottery/Glass/Porcelain. The latter would be stretching a bit, but whatever. Usually the problem is shutting this bunch UP. :p:D:rolleyes:

    I thought there was. Try Metalware instead.

    If it's not jewelry put it in the Metalware section.
