I haven't found them on any silver makers list! Can't find any history or origin either. Just a few pieces on the internet, ebay. None of the pieces are marked silver. Makes me wonder if it is a white metal.

Beautiful design!

I saw a pair that were. If you rub a white tissue on them does the tissue turn black? If so you have silver. Clean them with a silver polish.

Post by: icedgold10 on May 09, 2014, 07:21:32 pm: Haha I have done the ketchup thing before. Forgot about that. lol

Post by: sugarcube5419 on May 09, 2014, 07:31:19 pm: oh my gawd--they must be something cheap because I took the goodwill tag off and the "silver" came off with the tag. Rubbed the dang thing=nothing on the tissue--

these are actually pretty I thought until now I think they are cheap

Post by: KC on May 09, 2014, 08:44:06 pm: Sorry about that! :(

Well I guess they aren't pewter! :( They are very interesting & just because the horrid tag pulled off some of the silver doesn't necessarily mean they are cheap, just that they are plated. GG

Post by: mart on May 11, 2014, 06:51:43 pm: Ipcress, look to see who has been here !! I think they give those that have been signed in last 15 minutes !!
I have to go with Ipcress here !! I have never seen even cheap silverplate do that !! Back in the 60`s and 70`s Scandinavian design was very hot and sold like crazy,, could be from that era !!
