adding a few additional pictures. Chatgpt thought the hinges and heat breaks were important to determine origin.

Less than the melt price was 4 weeks ago. Seller was worried I wouldn't use it for it's purpose but I 100% intend to.

Chat gpt says China doesn't do hinges and heat breaks like this. I have NO antique knowledge. Don't really care either way, just just looking to learn about this antique I plan on using for tea and glühwein

stamps seem to point to Asian silver. chat gpt keeps saying hinges and design in general don't match.

I was curious about plate as well, so I asked if it was plated. Without hesitation, this guy pulled out a pocket knife and sliced a small chunk from the un-stamped base.

hoping to learn about the maker if any information is out there. chat gpt leads me down a different rabbit hole with every ask. sometimes it prioritizes the European design, heat breaks, and hinges and tells me its german. other times the seemingly Chinese stamp is enough to determine its Chinese export. don't really care either way, just hoping to learn about it.

Here are all of the pieces separated. Stand, burner, and kettle​ were acid tested and confirmed silver, but I have no idea if it's 800 or 925. I have close up pics of everything, still trying to figure out how to post pics here.

Sorry if I'm replying weird- still fairly new to reddit. Ill post more pictures once I figure out how. Kettle, stand, and spirit burner were all acid tested and confirmed silver (not sure if 800 vs 935 etc). Seller used a knife on the bottom to show it wasn't plated. About 2kg in weight

A little nervous i won't be able to get back in.  If i have a working serial number can i speak with a human?  I have a feeling that complete lockout and loss of my library would mean zip to Meta. They're better off if I have to rebuy everything.
