JAPANESE SILVER? SAKE SET

Postby NancyCaroline » Mon May 30, 2011 11:44 am

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone comment on whether the mark on this sake set indicates silver? I've tried to compare to online resources without success. Thanks in advance for your help!
Best, Nancy

Hi, The characters meaning is "half pewter". You may want to confirm if it is solid silver. Chris
