    Description

    Antique Edwardian Mt Vernon Co Sterling Silver Cake Plate with Lots of Cherubs/Putti and Floral Garlands
    My thanks to you even if you are "Just Looking".  You are staying home, I am staying home and raiding my inventory from the last 20 years stored in my condo to list on EBAY so I can make it through this trying time.  My wishes to you for the same.
    May I offer:
    Dating to the late 1890s or early 1900s, may I offer this stunning cutwork - pierced work cake plate featuring a stunning design of angels/cherubs/putti holding flower garlands.  I have to tell you, this is one VERY hard piece of silver to photograph!  As you can tell by my photos, I did pics with flash and no flash and I just hope the sheer beauty of this piece comes through.  The hallmarks on the bottom of the piece attest to a Mount Vernon Company manufacture but it seems Mauser might have inherited the die as they sold this design as well but only under their hallmark.
    Condition: Being vintage, there are light marks of use, storage and time . The patina is wonderfully warm and I try to only lightly polish for photos, the main polish I leave to the new owner.  While there are no major, major problems to the piece, there is a pinprick dimple (where the flash of light points in my pic) at the center of the top.  Of course a paper doily will cover the spot and the cake will cover the spot, but some people want absolutely perfection and so, no, this is NOT the piece for you.
    Metal Content:  Sterling Silver with Hallmarks of George Washington in an oval (Mt Vernon mark), 3215d and Sterling.  Oh the black 60s mark won't be on the piece when I sell, I had that on as an inventory number.
    Width across is 11-1/4".  Depth is about 1" from the footed pedestal.  Weight is a robust 437 grams (about 0 in silver).
    If you like romantic in your silver, you just can't beat this piece!  Oh, and there's one for sale in England right now at 0!

    TERMS
    ITEM CONDITION
    I have been doing EBAY for 21 years now and I know what I am doing when it comes to selling.  I describe my items accurately, have multiple pictures on each of my listings so a "surprise" upon receipt is unlikely.  However, if something is amiss, I will remedy the situation as quickly as possible.

    *  Any return is to be made within 3 days after Buyer's receipt of item. Please notify ME (not EBAY) asap if you intend on making a return.
    PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED
    * PayPal - Any refund made will be less the amount Paypal keeps as a transaction fee. (New as of 11/24/19).
    SALES TAX
    * EBAY now collects sales tax on most states - this will be automatically added to your invoice by EBAY.
    SHIPPING USA
    As mentioned in the shipping area.

    RIGHT TO SELL
    *
    I sell on other sites so if you try to find my listing and can't, it means it has sold.
    DELIVERY
    * I process mail 2 to 3 times a week so once payment is received, Buyer's package will ship ASAP -  usually 1-2 days after payment is received.  If there is a delay, I will let BUYER know.
    FINAL NOTE
    *  Again, I will process any refund rather than EBAY.  If this rule is not to your liking, then please do not purchase the item.
    Thanks for visiting!
