jemimamoon Posts: 8 Registered: Apr 2005	posted 04-15-2005 11:21 PM As I have said before I have just begun to look at silver. My grandmother had this for ever. I do not know the age. I have looked and looked. All I can really find are broad strokes regarding Meriden Britannia Co. I don't know if this pattern has a name. However, my main question is value and with the poor repair work that had been done. How much does it effect the value? I also have the identical pattern teapot in a lrger size withou a lid. Thanks again. Jemima moon (it was my great grandmothers name) IP: Logged
