 sword through a wreath, sterling, and the number 5203. I believe it to have been made by Wilcox and Wagoner out of New York and dating to the turn of the 19th century. This tea ball is a large one measuring 2 inches tall minus the chain by 1 1/2 inches wide. |
 It carries the #1198 as well as the maker mark. The bowl is four footed & measures 2 1/2" high x 4 3/4" long x 3 3/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. The design is in the helmet shape with gentle flutes that lead to the parallel line border-rim. script monogram one side 'VW' |
 Wilcox & Wagoner manufactured in New York until 1905 when they were purchased by the Watson Silver Co. It is ornately chased around the border and the underside is as nicely finished as the interior of the bowl. The rim is 1" high so this is a shallow bowl. |
 The bowl opening measures 7" across thetop and 9 1/2" across the widest point. It is more than 4 1/2" high. The Pedestal is 4 1/4" across. There is a monogram of an "M" between the bands. |
