    Greetings all,

    I was just wondering if anyone recognized these marks, I apologize they are a bit worn. They all belong to a set of teapots I'm trying to research. Here's the photos:

    I know.. any chance that helps to identify if it’s plated or not? This is an area where my experience going through thrifts doesn’t help

    "IF" - big "IF" they have not been re-plated then I would hazard a guess that they are not plated. I'm wondering if the gold color is a trick of the lighting or not. Any ideas if it is?

    I suspect they are plated and the marks were weakly struck to begin with. I can't see anything of what is there that suggests a particular place, maker or whether solid versus plated. All the reflections are not helping (and yes I know how hard it is to photograph silver.)

    Thank you for your input bakersgma, I don’t think it’s worth the financial risk unless someone could figure out the marks.
