Can e help me identify this piece? I have done an acid test and it is positive for sterling.
Unless you have gouged a deep groove and tested at the bottom you have only tested the surface which, if it’s electroplate, is pure silver anyway. If it doesn’t say “sterling” then it probably isn’t.

Thanks Phil, I rarely find sterling that is not marked, I tested this twice with a deep rub on the very bottom unfinished rim, both times came back sterling. I can’t find the flower type symbol that is on both sides of WATSON. I would think someone would know if this is American or not and if the marks mean 900 , 925 or 950. Thanks.
