    Chris Mount Getting there

    Hi all was hoping someone could shed some light on this urn bowl ?
    I think it may be Peter no visible Mark's someone has engraved something on the bottom. Is a little worse for wear. Nice pattern non magnetic and the feet and handledss quite oxidized if that's the right word. Any ideas on age at all. Around 150mm across. Thanks chris 15249754940081.jpg 15249754938950.jpg 15249754940462.jpg 15249755179265.jpg 15249755178384.jpg 15249755177583.jpg

    Looks like two different metals to me, handles and feet are not the same as the bowl.
    As a rule pewter does not corrode.

    Looks like the corrosion on old brass (?) jewelry links.

    Looks to me like a late 19th century Britannia-metal sugar bowl with lead mounts and worn-off silverplate, most likely English, and they were often left unmarked (probably due to their inexpensive nature)...
