    Description

    Vintage Weighted Sterling Silver Candy Dish Compote 511 Hunt Silver Company Sheffield, England.
    Weighs 149 grams (5.3 oz) on my kitchen scale.
    The top is approx 5.75 inch diameter. Approx 2.75 inches tall.
    Some small dents to the base (see photos). Top looks pretty good, with some scratches. Have not tried to polish recently.
    The bottom says Sterling Weighted 511. There is also a trademark stamp that is a bit worn, consisting of a K in an oval/circle, an H inside a shield and a lion. From a lot of research, I was able to identify it as that of the Hunt Silver Company (or possibly of one of its later iterations/mergers) of Sheffield, England which had distributors in New York and Chicago in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1954 they merged with Hallmark Silversmiths to form Hunt-Hallmark Co.
