Description

Silver "basket" style tapered vase I received as a gift from my mother about 25 years ago. I don't have much information about it and am looking for find someone who might know something about the manufacturer as I haven't been able to find anything online that matches the mark on the bottom of the vase.

The vase is stamped twice with two similar marks. It is stamped on the underside of the basket portion with the following:
"Standard Silver Co International" then underneath the initials
EP MS and underneath that

on the bottom of the vase are the same markings with the exception of the initials they are

I can't find anything other than that. There is some intricate floral work around the "basket" portion.
