• Up for a 5 Day Auction is this Van Bergh Silver Plate Co. Sugar Bowl.
• It is Hand Hammered. 
• It would have been made between 1872 and 1926.
• The piece was purchased from and Estate Sale and no lid came with.
• It was quite darkened with age but, for me, that is part of the charm.  On one side there is a letter or 2 letters...truly, I would only be guessing what they are, they are so stylized.
• It is quite heavy, weighing in at 14 ozs.  It is not weighted, simply very solid.
• Of course, it is a sugar bowl, but it could hold pencils or make-up brushed, or paint brushes.
• There is scuffing and a nick on the outside of the rim.  There is a sticky area on the base from a tag which can be removed by goo-be-gone.
• Don't let this one get away!
