Silver-Continental

Silver is listed by material, such as coin, plate, or sterling; by some major manufacturers, such as Tiffany; by the type of item, such as candlesticks, jewelry, and napkin rings; or by country of origin. Countries throughout the world have their own unique silver styles, traditions, and marks. Silver made in Continental Europe is listed here. "Continental" is used to distinguish the silver from English and American styles. More examples may be listed under Silver-Austrian, Silver-Baltic, Silver-Belgian, Silver-Czechoslovakian, Silver-Danish, Silver-Dutch, Silver-French, Silver-German, Silver-Italian, Silver-Polish, Silver-Portuguese, Silver-Romanian, Silver-Spanish, and Silver-Swiss.
