[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 9795902, member: 16674"]They are a bit small for the eggs my hens lay. Well, they are salt and pepper pots, and very pretty at that. They are well made. I've looked all over them and can nothing that resembles a maker's mark. It was quite dirty and greasy; but after a normal wash I poured boiling water over them and they came up a lot cleaner. I have since used a silver cloth. Outside is pretty good, although there a still a few black spots that are trapped in small pits. Inside, I haven't had much luck in polishing out the tarnish. The top diameter is 4.00cm, height 2.80cm, and the wall thickness of the bowl is about 0.8mm. Weight is 24 grams. The feet are three toed and clasping a ball. Are they silver or silver plated? I don't have any silver acid to test them with. How much does a jewellery normally charge in Europe (France)? Mainly external: [ATTACH=full]485793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485799[/ATTACH] Internal: [ATTACH=full]485800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485802[/ATTACH] Thank you for your input.[/QUOTE]
