Silver Dish
« on: March 16, 2015, 09:48:12 am »
Hey guys, I haven't dug very deep into this piece (only like an hour of frustration). The piece is 12 inches across and a couple inches deep. It is marked "Trabajo Mano" and "925 AC". I am not sure what it is for but I am assuming it is just a wall piece. If anyone knows what it is for and maybe an age time frame that would be magical.

Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

Trabajo Mano is Spanish and means hand made.

925 specifies silver content. 

Can you take a better picture of the AC please?  This should be the maker's mark/identifier!

Also, it appears that there is wording just above the word MANO but I can't make it out.  What can you see?

It is also decently light. Only about 14 oz and for the size that leads me to think it could be decorative only. I cant seem to figure out what the AC means though.

Yeah, It may just have to get sent into an appraiser. I cannot fine anything like it.

I'm thinking the letters are PLR?

Was researching Perlita (retail store) and Plateria (silver shop).

I agree, on this one it needs a hands on with a jewelers loop to try and discern makers marks.

925 does depict sterling so lets hope it is properly marked!  Beautiful piece!
