Davco Silver Ltd. Decorative Silverplate Vessel

This item is a decorative silver-toned vessel, likely a piece of hollowware such as a sugar bowl, creamer, or small decorative trophy based on the visible rounded silhouette and joined handle. The piece is constructed from base metal with a silver-plated finish. Physically, the item shows a bulbous body with at least one visible scroll-style handle attached at the mid-section. The surface displays significant cosmetic wear, including heavy tarnish, oxidation, and possible 'bleeding' where the silver plating has worn thin to reveal the copper or brass base metal underneath, giving it a patchy, multicolored appearance. The most prominent marking is a modern adhesive silver-foil label on the base which reads 'Davco Silver, Ltd.' with a stylized script logo in the center and 'Made in China' printed at the bottom. The presence of a sticker rather than an engraved hallmark indicates this is a contemporary, mass-produced item likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is commercial grade, intended for decorative home use rather than high-end fine dining. Notable condition issues include surface scratches, dullness in the luster, and substantial environmental patina that would require professional polishing to restore the original shine.
