<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 11236075, member: 111"]As Kyra has already said, it's a drink chiller, a mid 20th century novelty item (not that chillers aren't still made, I have plain ones in stainless steel) - and really no question that it's silverplate rather than sterling. Sometimes the plating is thick enough that to get to the base metal in testing, a deep scrape would be required - but no reason to disfigure this item, Frigast or any other manufacturer would certainly mark sterling or other fineness silver as such.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
