Silver cup and lid

I found this beauty today for $3.99!  I don’t have a clue if it’s silver or silver plated and there are no hallmarks on it, but it does feel fairly light. Silver plate is usually over brass and would be heavy. Also it has an audible ting to it when I strike it with something.  Either way, it’s gorgeous.

I put up some fabric to see how the room will look with drapes. Whaddya think I should do? I definitely do not want to introduce another pattern into the room. Green may work to help pull in the colour from other adjoining spaces. The rod is temporary but any suggestions are welcome.

    Did you try rubbing it to see if the Genie would appear? It's very pretty!

    So - okay! Email me and tell me where in NS I can find these relatives of yours. AND if the Genie appears, I should get at least one wish!

    This is my first time here, so first I have to say — I love your striped walls! I think the green looks beautiful and that urn is gorgeous.

    If those chairs ever disappear, I'm your prime suspect.

    This is a very attractive urn, regardless of what it is made of. You can tell if a piece is sterling if it has a hallmark or is marked with the 925 or the lion symbol on it. Does it have a manufacture name imprinted on it?

    LOVE the urn! I wouldn't care if it was silver or not, I would have jumped all over that deal!

    I think the green is perfect! It grounds the room! Beautiful!!
