Tiffany Lap Over Edge Question
Hi, I have this Tiffany "lap over edge" set. Someone asked me if there had been a removed monogram. I'm not sure how the back of these pieces should look. Can anyone confirm the image below is true, or there has indeed been a monogram removal etc.? Thank you!

·1 year agoThe photos I’ve seen online show a pattern on the reverse that yours doesn’t seem to have? Perhaps that’s a sign that they’ve had an alteration. Also noted: that is the shiniest antique silver Ive encountered.

OP1 year agoI used two different light filters, trying to get as much detail as possible. Thanks!

·1 year agoI can't read the marks, so have nothing else to add. Taking good close-up photos of silver is difficult............took me a few tries to get good results.

·1 year agoThe overall appearance, with no tarnish 'shading', gives me concern. Looks like a set of silverplate that has been replated, or over-plated, but then I don't have it in my hands. What do others think?

OP1 year agoThey were dipped in silver cleaner and brightened (probably overly) with a filter. They did test for silver.
