I have a bowl/dish that was made by the International Silver Co that includes silver Soldered on the bottom< and also 5oz then a box(top is wider than the bottom and can't think of the proper name of the shape) with the number 25 inside it. If it's silver plated ( I am pretty sure since the bottom of the bowl has a few bubbles showing)why would they bother with the weight? Would anyone know if there is a web site for which ever company now owns IS?

Is it fairly small? 5 ounces would most likely be the capacity of your bowl, rather than the weight. I usually run across marks like yours on restaurant/hotelware.
Int'l is owned (along with Wallace and Towle) by a large conglomerate called Syratech. If you google International Silver or Syratech, you'll find both websites.

Thanx Carol.
It does hold 5.6 oz water LOL. Any one know if "The Columbus" was a popular name for hotels?
