Identification can sometimes be a challenge, however. These include the maker, the level of craftsmanship, the amount of silver used, condition, and age.

It can be difficult to definitively determine which company made what and the age of a piece. The size of the dish is a big clue in identification, as certain companies only made specific sizes.
