Please be sure to read to the end. Silver decorative metal tray. This item was in my grandparents' house. It's been there since before I was born, so it's at least 50 years old, an antique. The material is important, and there is a marking on the back indicating it is a silver product. I took it to several precious metal buyers and antique dealers, but because it's 25cm in diameter, it wouldn't fit in the X-ray machine for testing. They said the only way to measure it would be to cut a piece off, which would completely destroy its antique value, so I declined. All the dealers said that it was definitely silver, but not 925 or a high purity silver. However, they also said that even 50 years ago, the price of pure silver was only a few dozen yen, so it wasn't highly valued, and silver would have been even cheaper in India at the time, so it likely has a reasonable purity. Especially the rim. That alone has considerable weight. This isn't just my amateur opinion, but based on the professionals' assessment of the discoloration, smell, and the fact that it doesn't react to a magnet, but it's just a reference. It's not a company appraisal, but the individual opinion of the appraiser. The company name is written on the sticker on the back, but there is a company with the same name, but it's a completely different company that was established over a decade ago. I desperately researched it, hoping it was 925, haha. It would cost tens of thousands of yen to have it properly appraised by an institution, so I'm listing it on Mercari. Weight: approximately 700g. Since I haven't been able to get a definitive appraisal due to the lack of markings, I'm listing it as an antique, not as precious metal silver. Please understand that I cannot accept claims or returns. Thank you for looking.
