Silver (possibly silver plated) Baby Porringer Set

By cynfierro, 13 November, 2011
Description

The bowl (porringer) and the spoon and fork have a very detailed picture of a bear wearing a bowtie.  I don't know much about silverware since I mostly collect antique books, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to pick up this item.  It was VERY tarnished but once I polished it up, it was absolutely beautiful.  I think it may have been a christening gift or something related to that.  I'm just trying to find more information on a manufacturer or value!
