Hi! I have a large Dominick and Haff bowl, but I'd like to know more about it. The bottom says 3905 10 IN 25, Sterling 2615. Does it have a pattern? Can you help? Thanks! Vicki
Answer Hello Vicki. Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. I was trying to see if the pattern on your pretty bowl was one that matched a flatware pattern, but couldn't come up with anything that was similar.
Dominick & Haff used to have a dating system for their holloware, but I believe that was pretty much phased out around 1890. So it's safe to assume your bowl dates from 1890 until 1928 when Reed & Barton bought them.
