<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 67089, member: 54&quot;]One other feature you can see in the pic of the bottom is the construction method of a metal circle soldered into the cylindrical body of the piece.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know much about silver stuff but the usual construction method for a vessel is to cast, pound, or spin the very malleable silver into the complete shape at least for the basic vessel so no soldering or piecing-together is needed, which also looks better.&nbsp; Brass isn&#039;t malleable enough for that, so it would have to be pieced-together as was done here.&nbsp; I could be wrong though, Idunno silver at all.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1049.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs397%2Fimaginara%2F2green%2Ficebuk%2F11_zps93rzencx.jpg&amp;hash=ccf2ae6e41928e1a9a1afa0f75d3feb1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
