Paula says - "Tiny sterling silver kettle with hand stamped patterns and a turquoise stone in lid. Note the dime in the photo below to give you the sense of scale - very small!! Perfect as a house warming or wedding gift. |
About Silver100% solid silver won't tarnish but it is too soft to use for making jewelry - it could easily be scratched, dented and bent. Sterling silver has a small amount of one or more other metals usually copper, added to the silver. To be called sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. Sterling silver alloy is harder than pure silver but the added metals also can cause discoloration or tarnish. |
These miniatures are getting extremely difficult to find. They are entirely handmade with hand stamping. See others in the group to make up a set. | |
Photo above has a paper clip that shows the scale of these detailed miniatures. The largest dimension on any of these miniatures is 1 1/4". | All lids and covers are removeable. |
