Info On Sterling / Glass Vase
« on: October 22, 2024, 01:44:20 AM »
Hi,

I got this at an estate sale. The silver was so dirty. I cleaned it up, and it is beautiful. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about who the maker could be. It is marked, "Sterling", and "925/1000". It also reads, "Pine". I tried to look up silversmiths named Pine, companies named Pine, with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Your pictures are too small and won't enlarge, so we can't really help. You have 125 kb per picture

Hi, welcome to the forum. I think what you are reading as “pine” is actually “fine”. It is saying the fineness of the silver is 925 parts out of 1000.

I think your silver collar is by J. F. Fradley & Co who use a “+” symbol. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/165422917_vase-abcg-embossed-sterling-silver-rim

Looks like a hat pin vase.
