pete Posts: 30 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 07-28-2003 01:53 PM [01-1174] Hello- I have a small compote? Not sure what it was used for. Would like to find out how old and a pattern name. Would also like to know what the 3 marks are and the 1319 stand for. Thank you. IP: Logged
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 07-28-2003 03:41 PM My guess is your item is for salt and originally had a glass insert. Regarding Shaw and Berry, see this previous thread on the Forum: Shaw and Berry? A quick search of Yahoo reveals two other items. The first: quote: "Marechal Neil Demitasse Spoons are marked on the back with the Durgin D, Sterling, Shaw and Berry Co.(the Jeweler who sold them) and Oct 6th. There is a monogram on the front an M. They are 4 3/16" long." And a silver tea service at: quote: American Sterling 5 piece Tea Service & Sterling Tray Tea service consists of a tipping tea kettle on stand with burner, coffee pot, tea pot, cream & sugar. Dated circa 1890 - makers Shaw & Berry Co. Here Shaw & Berry are described as the makers. If Shaw & Berry were the distributors, my guess the maker is indicated by the three stamps beneath in your piece. Patrick IP: Logged

Everything else having been answered, I thought I would just remark that the 1319 would be the product number. It could either refer to the specific dish, or to the design of the dish, depending on the protocols used by the specific maker. ------------------ Anuh IP: Logged
bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 04-24-2008 01:03 AM This is a revived post. In an archived 1901 NY Times article about a diamond robbery, Shaw & Berry Co was mentioned as a Washington D C jewelry store. Also, there is currently a set of flatware online that is said to be marked Shaw & Berry Co Washington D C. IP: Logged
