Wonderful set of silverplated salt & pepper shakers. The design appears to be inspired by middle eastern style. These pieces are in near mint condition. Salt had been left in one shaker, and it crystalized around the inside of the top, but it does not prevent the top from opening and closing properly. They are 4-1/2" tall and 1-1/2" in diameter at the base. There is no makers mark.

Beautiful little silverplated candleholder by International Silver. This candle holder has two little angels holding up an urn, wherein sits the candle. There are some little stars on the angels dresses. This piece is in excellent condition, but could stand to be polished. I did not see any problems with the plating at all. A very nice piece, and would be great to use as an addition to your Christmas decorations!

Pretty bon bon bowl by Reed & Barton, pattern number is 1203. This bowl is 6-1/2" in diameter across the top, 4-3/4" diameter at the base and is 1" high. This bowl is in excellent condition. There are some discernable black marks on the inside bottom of the bowl. I do not typically polish or clean silverplate before selling, but I did give this bowl a light polishing and the marks did not come out. They are not terribly bad, but necessary to mention. Otherwise this bowl looks very nice - n... Click for details

These two, matching, sterling silver master salt spoons in Dominick & Haff's Pointed Antique are each 3 1/8" long, and very heavy relative to their size. The merit of this design is in its simple elegance. The only embellishment to the pattern is a central rib running down the backside of the shanks, plus a rich gold wash in the bowls. The condition is mint. These pieces have seen little use, and certainly no abuse. Marks are the D&H emblem, and the word Sterling.

Stamped "Patent 1868" and "WwH," this cake saw represents one of Wood and Hughes' earliest patterns. It is not documented in any of the standard pattern references, but the design is recorded in the United States patent office, and a copy of the original issue is available, with the patent noted as granted December 1, 1868. The style is gothic with ornamentation. Curiously, this is basically Wood & Hughes' later "Angelo" pattern, less the interior detailing. The form is a 9 5/8" long, coin s... Click for details
