Anything you can tell me will be of great help.

They also have a great number of Japanese, Chinese and Korean antique ceramics. Is there a list like this one that would help me identify them?

Thanks for any any help you can give...

Hi there,

The Compote is made by the M. Fred Hirsch Company- 1920-1945, succeeded by Fisher Silver Company. The spoons I believe are Japanese- They often use the 950 standard- unable to know without a makers mark but seems to fit with the other chinese/ japanese porcelains in the collection. Unsure of the goblets, what is the mark underneath the "sterling". Hope this helps! Mike
