<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 460161, member: 59&quot;]I wish I could say that your lovely bowl is solid silver of either .925 or .950 fineness, Johnny, but I have concluded it&#039;s silver plated. First and most importantly, there was an ordinance in Japan beginning 1954 that required that solid silver fineness be expressed and marked with the decimal version. If this bowl were solid, it would have been so marked. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found a large number of online records that show items from Miyata and a fair number, marked as yours is without the 950, are called silver plated. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry,</p><p><br /></p><p>(FYI - it&#039;s Naval Air Station Atsugi, not Facility.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
