Sterling silver bowl - Is this Graff, Washbourne & Dunn???

Nov 3, 2009 10:40 AM
Hi guys!

I am wondering if you have any knowledge about this mark. The mark is similar but doesn't have the initials. Any ideas??

Sure looks like it? Although why it's missing the word sterling or the initials, I don't know?

Rainwater shows a version of their mark without the initials or the word sterling, only the outline, Sue. But you'd think that if they used that one they should have put some other mark on the piece to indicate silver fineness.

Does it say sterling somewhere else on the piece, Alexandra?

Snooty company! Must have assumed everyone knew who they were?

:^O

Alexandra hasn't said how large (or small) this is. Maybe it's tiny and the only size mark that would fit was the plain one? Dominick & Haff did the same sometimes.

Sorry I forgot to add the size. It is large, 10 inches in diameter and there is a sterling mark and a number 212. They are located at the bottom, one near each foot. Three feet in all.

Well I'll be! That's a WOW, for sure.

Rainwater doesn't have any notes associated with the uninitialed mark, but it's there. So I think you can positively ID this as their work.
