Re: Fresh Flowers & Sterling - A No No?

You make a valid point about the "Fresh Flowers" solution you add to prolong the life of your flowers, and I believe you're right. There's no telling what is in that that might damage silver. I'm glad to hear that you use your silver for your flowers because I really want to. Thank you so ...

Fresh Flowers & Sterling - A No No?

Hi Everyone. I have a quick question: can you put fresh flowers in a sterling silver vessel? I know salt is damaging to it if not cleaned immediately, does the chemical make up of flowers and their stems do the same in some fashion or another? When I clean my crystal after using it as a vase, it tak...

Re: Help with an H&H maker's mark

Hi, thanks for the responses. I TOTALLY agree that it isn't Dutch, I didn't realize I was posting to this forum. I checked the link above and see how it could be Hamilton & Hamilton, but in every piece I've seen by them the H marks look different than mine. Also, the internet is filled with thei...
