Purchased recently at an estate sale, but I don't know what this item is. It is visually similar to a Silent Butler, but this silver-plated item has a hollow, enclosed reservoir, indicating that it is designed to hold hot water, which would hint that it is a serving dish of some sort, perhaps for porridge.

The hallmark stamped on the underside is "Sheffield", with two 5-point stars. I cannot find any information about this hallmark.

If you know what this is, or can point me in the direction for finding out it's identity or value, please let me know!

I have been searching the internet to try and figure out some items I have inherited from family. This one is especially difficult to find. The closset i have found was on a UK antique dealer site for pretty similar item but it was made of  bronze. That is how i found out it was 19th century italian silver ascos wine pitcher. It has tiny stamping of oval with 800 on it. The pitcher is quite heavy and has distinct details on it. Has two goats atop one goat and leg laying over side of top of pitcher and the handle is molded as well with a goat head and angel.

brass table lamp

I am looking for any information. This was bought by the original owner in a high end furniture store in minneapolis about 50 years ago. There is also a signature on the top of the table. Brass is under the silver and the base is made of wood.

History is unknown...these items were found in our attic

We found this item in our attic. We do not know anything about the item except that the previous owner of the house that has since passed was Korean.
