PLEASE HELP



I have a tan colored ceramic pot with a lid that has a ceramic handle in the center. It is 7 1/4" in diameter outside to outside edge. 3 1/2" from the bottom to the top of the lip without the lid, with the lid it is 5". It also has the #31 printed on the bottom. It sits in a solid silver basket, (for lack of a better term),that has two handles. They also are silver. On the bottom of the basket is the #1309 and there are four letters also, they are, E,P,B,M. There are also four ball shaped feet of which one is stamped with; Standard Silver Co. Ltd. Toronto,Can. These are in a circle. Inside the circle, there is a vine wrapping around to the left side, a * (star?)that sits in the crotch of a geometric shape. I just can't quite make out what it is. The silver is tarnished, It has 2 hair line cracks in the bowl. 1 on the base of the handle, not all the way through, but it is very stable. I do believe they happened during the firing process. I would appreciate any information you can give me about this item, as well as an appraisal. Thank you; Tony

I really don't have any idea of what the value of this item is. The bowl and lid are rather plain, but the basket is solid silver. The basket dose have a little bit of a pattern going around the top outside edge, sort of an alternating ostrich plumb. The silver content may be worth about $50.00 to $75.00 I'm not really sure. I would also like to have a rough idea of how old it might be. Thank you; Tony
