I have the same gravy boat plus a tray for it to sit on. Have you been able to determine the approximate value of this item?

Sadly the market for silverplate hollow ware is very weak, values depend a great deal on the maker and most importantly the condition of the silver plating. If the silver plating is worn or discolored it is very hard to sell at any price. Comparable pieces like this in very good condition often sell for under $45.00.

Thanks for the quick response! I knew the market for silverplate hollowware wasn't very good, but I wondered if the "Maintenon" brand would increase its value. I've seen a lot of Maintenon items listed with fairly hefty pricetags. Thanks again!

Sites that specialize in silverware have generally inflated prices because they are often marketing to people who need a piece to complete a set and charge a premium to cover storage and inventory costs. In the general market where pieces like this are most often sold tend to sell for far less.
