This auction is for a vintage medium sized sterling silver compote. It was made by Frank M. Whiting Company and has really nice repousee designs in the bowl, along the stem, and on the borders of the base and bowl. Overall it is in good to very good condition. T are no major dings, dents, or stratches. However, the bowl does not sit parallel to the ground (probably an easy fix), and t are some "rippling" right around the top of the base w it meets the stem. T are also a couple of very minor, small dings around the edge of the base and of course, it needs a good polishing. This piece is 5 1/2" tall, and 6 1/2" in diameter (the bowl). It is weighted and gross weight is 8.47 ounces. T is probably a little over 3 ounces of silver (I scrapped one last week that had close to 3 ounces and this one is made of a thicker gauge silver and is larger). Use it or scrap it although it is really too nice to scrap. See the last picture for the markings on the bottom. See my other auctions for sterling silver items. I will combine/discount shipping whenever possible (unless items are too large or heavy to ship together). Buyer pays actual shipping costs. T is a $2.00 handling charge. Insurance is optional but recommended. I am not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs during shipping if insurance is not purchased. International buyers please read more
