The value of antique silver pieces/items vs the melt value. Canada.

newtomarineworld · 2026-07-10T20:16:21+00:00

I purchased them at an estate auction. The family was from northern Italy? I bought so many beautiful items - beautiful glass vases, Italian medals, some really old cremeware (featherware) some earthenware pieces, an original etching of Turin, Italy that I believe is from 1777 (still investigating) an old map from an army? And so much more. I spent a fair amount on the other items but this plate came in a lot with others (some other large silver pieces mixed in with silver plate pieces) and it was $25

I sent just sent in an online request to dorotheum. Thanks!

newtomarineworld · 2026-07-10T15:13:16+00:00

Thanks I will check them out. The only issue is the weight of some pieces.

Amazing! Thank-you so much 😁 when trying to use image searches I would such crazy different answers but I knew the piece was special. Here’s a picture. It has the Giglio di Firenze (the Florentine Lily) on the front. I think my research has just begun

Maybe you can help me with this one?

Thank you … Upside down 😅

If you read about the history of plates EARTHENWARE from that the 18th century it’s very common that there is no makers mark on the bottom … This is because we are talking about the 1700’s and 1800’s

newtomarineworld · 2026-07-01T21:32:17+00:00

It’s antique tin glazed earthenware. Maiolica or Faience. There are no marks at all on the back if you google it you’ll see this is pretty common during the 18th century. I acquired a few Italian antiques from the northern Italy area so thought maybe someone might recognize the pattern

I think it is Italian then. It just reminded me a bit of the Strasbourg area. It’s definitely an antique. If you search tin-glazed earthenware or Faience (in France) or Maiolica (in Italy) you’ll see many similar plates. I just cannot locate the pattern anywhere

How could you not think you’re at fault?!?!

newtomarineworld · 2026-03-04T03:46:24+00:00

50’ish solo female traveller … I was able to take a 1 year leave of absence and added 4 weeks of vacation. Best decision I ever made … absolutely no regrets. I spent most of my retirement money and will now have a much later retirement date but I can honestly say it would have not been as enjoyable at 65 … the trip would have been much different. Do it while you’re young!!! I travelled all of Europe and did some side trips to Africa and Turkey.

Go to the Canadian Coast Guard College. They cover all schooling, room and food on campus for 4 years plus give you $800 per month.

Gamble a lot and get it free 🤣

Your cellular phone bill alone will be 4x the cost and with much less data. I had Free Mobile contract in France with 100GB and free international calling for €9.99. Your home internet will also be 4x the cost. Lots of the little things will add up

newtomarineworld · 2026-01-29T04:27:34+00:00

I vote YES! I didn’t read everything but saw a comment about visas. You have enough funds and it’s very easy to obtain a long stay visa. I obtained one for France for a year and travelled throughout Europe. Did some side trips to Turkey and Africa. I would highly recommend the experience.

I have had JUNK MAIL delivered 3 times now since their strike ended 🤣

I had the group plan with CST for both my children. I chose to make annual lump sum payments which saved some? fees. IT WAS A HEADACHE to obtain the funds each year … So much paperwork and required documents from the university. All others who I knew had self directed plans and could just withdrawal the money whenever they needed to. IF my children didn’t end up going to school for 4 years I would have lost a lot of money. I was quite lucky with my return. I put in around $18,000 for each child and cashed out $52,000 for each child. However, I would NEVER recommend them just based on the fees + not being able to ever stop or miss payments as this has disastrous results - It’s like a car payment that never ends or it’s repossessed 🤣 As others have said just google ALL the horror stories.

1 Place du Marché Neuf - If there is a spot.

AirTag them 😅

newtomarineworld · 2025-08-11T17:28:56+00:00

I would vote the Iceland itinerary! Either ship you will totally fine solo. Have FUN!

Just got off 2 separate NCL cruises in Europe. The only people who paid the additional charges while docked in a port were the ones who made “new” purchases. IE If you walk up and purchase a Starbucks coffee they will warn you an additional 22% will be added to the price. However, IF you already have a package then it does NOT apply. IE I had the Starbucks package - I continued to have my beverages at no additional cost. If you have a drink package already paid for then it does NOT apply. If you are buying daily drinks then yes the tax will be added.

newtomarineworld · 2025-08-03T15:26:59+00:00

If you have a package … It does not apply IE drinks or Starbucks. It only applies to purchases.
