A lovely piece. I would presume that your piece is Sterling, but it is an unusually high content - that is, it is 950 parts per 1000 silver. I am not aware of any country which used this purity level on a regular basis; I believe Reed & Barton used it for a while to compete with Gorham's "Martle" range. Apart from this, I'm stumped.

Hi Sherry,
Your dish is Japanese, .950 is the standard there and, although I don't know 'CPO', I've seen their mark in conjunction with the retailer's marks of Toyokoki and Miyata, both are Japanese jewelry shops.
Regards, Tom
