<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 314278, member: 308&quot;]Hello and welcome theone!&nbsp; The bottom piece is silverplate.&nbsp; The mark matches one used by Wurttembergische metallwarenfabrik of Germany.&nbsp; The I/O is a code for normal thickness of gilding or silver-plating.&nbsp; I got the information here:</p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.it/WMF.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.it/WMF.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.it/WMF.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This information really only tells us who made the base.&nbsp; It&#039;s most likely that a different company made the glass and still another made the top.&nbsp; Then a fourth company may have put them all together.&nbsp; A best guess on age would be 1890 give or take a decade.&nbsp; All this is just my opinion - others may think differently.&nbsp; Knowing the exact size and how much it holds might be helpful.&nbsp; Some of these pieces were purely decorative and others were meant to be useful.&nbsp; Another name for this shape is ewer.&nbsp; I can see why you rescued it.&nbsp; It is lovely.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
