Be sure to head over to her blog and look at all the silver loveliness!
Today I am showing some silver that has been thrifted and one piece that was a gift.
These three silvers were thrift shop finds from my Marathon thrfting the last few weeks...
The large tray has not been cleaned at all...It was $2.50 on 1/2 price day. I like the edge detail and think it is a good size for many uses. It has some weight to it but silverplate I'm sure. It does have markings that say Leonard and E P (electroplate?) marked Italy and some other symbols. I tried to get a photo of those but they did not come out.
It is marked Wm Rogers pat. 1904...is that a pattern number? I will have to look it up.
This is a highly collectible silverplated floral pattern called Berwick aka Diana. The pattern dates back to 1904 and is a product of the Art Nouveau period. The pattern features flowers, leaves and vines, very ornate. Berwick was made by International Silver and the pieces are marked with the "Eagle Wm. Rogers Star" mark along with "Pat. 1904".Wow! Interesting information! I have several more pieces I inherited when Gypsy passed away and I will have to get them out.
These are my Silver Sunday pieces...
I hope you have enjoyed seeing them.
See you next week!

Very pretty pieces. It's all in the details with silver I think. The spoon is beautiful.
Beautiful and AWESOME prices Linda!! You totally rocked some great thrifting!!

Love what you found out about the spoon. It's so pretty. I only have one piece of silver that I picked up recently.It's really tarnished though so I think I need to polish it up.

beautiful pieces! i love the monogram serving spoon, it is amazing!
The pieces you have are beautiful - the work they did years ago - you can find none today like it. Of yeah, because we don't make things here - they are made in China! lol

Wrights Silver Polish... the paste... not the liquid in a bottle... super easy!
Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for dropping by to visit. I wanted to let you know that I use Wright's Silver polish on my silver. I get it from our grocery store...it's easy to use and gets great results.
Have a great evening!

The serving spoon is beautiful. I love the details in it -very intricate. It must be hard to maintain the shine of the silver. But I guess it's all worth it with a beauty like this.
I came by way of Pink Saturday and have to say you are one lucky gal. My fave was the candy jar :-)
Mizpah,

LOVE THE SPOON... you got some great deals... TFS Happy Silver Sunday!
OMGosh, what bargains you got! Your silver pieces are beautiful, and I love that spoon your m-i-l gave you. laurie
Great deals! I don't have a lot of silver - got rid of most of it many years ago, as I don't like to polish it.
I LOVE silver! But am sooo nervous when going to make a purchase, Im not sure what to look for, if its bad or good, or Im just being too nervous! I guess it can be like this with a lot of things, like staining!!!
That spoon is lucious!!!
Jenna
You got some great bargains. I love a good bargain! I am loving that spoon big time.
Blessings!

I have a special place in my heart for tarnished silver. One of the greatest finds at sales is silver for pennies on the dollar.
Great finds, love your blog. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting, so wonderful to "meet" you!
Your stepmother was very generous giving you that piece of silver. I have to agree, the detail on that serving spoon is gorgeous! I, too, want to go thrifting where you do! You have found really great things. Thanks for sharing!
