any idea how old this gem is? I was told it was for sugar, years ago sugar was like gold, they had to lock it up, maybe thats why it has a gold wash inside. it needs a good shining, only marks I can see is V12 on the bottom.
hi ! your sugar box has been made in Berlin ( Germany ) about 1870 - it was produced by the manufacturer " Vollgold " which stands for the " V " and 12 means the silver fineness - nearly 750 silver ! nice piece !!
thank you clare :) where did you find this information? I have more pieces of silver to look up.
would love to help you - silver is my special thing for more than 20 years now .. show me some pics of your silver items .. have you seen my small collection at " http://www.karaffensammler.at " ?
well, if thats your small collection, I wonder what your large collection consists of :) beautiful pieces :) I'll try to post some soon
really nice sugar stand im a collector in vintage glassware and small memorabilia and this would be a great item to have.
