    I dont know what this is, not sure what type of metal it is either. The letters E.P.N.S are on the bottom, I dont know what they mean, does anyone have any clue what this is?

      Hi, EPNS means "Electro-plated nickel silver". It means that it is silver plated over a non-precious metal. The following article explains what it is more fully.

      thanks, but do you know anything about the cup?
    3. lorijoje, 11 years ago
      Sorry everyone I spelled chalis wrong.
    4. miKKoChristmas11 miKKoChristmas11, 11 years ago
      Sorry, I don't know anything about it. Might be in Aesthetic Movement Style.

      Do you mean "chalice"? Best wishes for success!
    5. lorijoje, 11 years ago
      yes that is what I meant and thanks again

      Electro-plated nickel silver, sterling over an alloy called nickel-silver.

      Hi, lorijoje! I thought that I detected a pattern of decoration with Aesthetic Movement motifs. Namely, the arch that frames the flowers, the flowers, and the fan (or shell). I might be mistaken. Here's an image of an Aesthetic Movement china pattern. See the 'ribbon band'?

      Also, you might for more items like this if you searched for "goblet" instead of "chalice". Best wishes for success! : )
    9. lorijoje, 11 years ago
      good idea, I will search for goblet..thanks
    10. lorijoje, 11 years ago
      I was looking at that platter and I do see what you mean but what does all that mean? do you have a round about year for this item? whats your opinion?

      Hi, lorijoje! Well, if this is Aesthetic Movement, and it is American - which is much less certain, then it a possible date range would perhpas be circa late 1860's to 1910 or so. I'm certainly no expert, however! I just love Aesthetic Movement style. If it is not a reproduction, then it's pretty old. FYI, it is likely that it's not British because it isn't fully hallmarked. Not all American pieces bear maker's marks, so it could well be American. : )

      thank you very much
