vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 12-19-2003 02:29 PM on Ebay: quote: Antique Pure Silver Tea Pot and Dish You are bidding on a pure silver tea pot and what I believe is a candy dish that is also made of silver. They both are tarnished a bit, but would shine up very nicely with a good polish. I just don't want to mess with it myself. The lid was broken off when I found it, but could easily be fixed. I do not know how old these item actually are. I found them at an auction. They look very old to me. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Happy bidding and Merry Christmas!! Note: Auction ended early with Buy It Now. IP: Logged

I think the trademarks of certain makers confuse the sellers. One time I bought a poorly pictured creamer that was represented as coin silver and it looked right (from the picture). It was really a 20th century silverplated reproduction creamer that looked far worse in person. Luckily the seller quickly refunded my $10. So I think the majority of such misrepresentation is honest and due to inexperience in the silver field. [This message has been edited by Paul Lemieux (edited 12-19-2003).] IP: Logged
