In the category of silverware, one common marking you will see is International Silver Co. International is the company name, but whenever they use this marking, it’s not actually sterling silver. It’s silver plated. When they made sterling silver, or 92.5% pure silver, they marked it International Sterling. Sterling is a legally binding term.... If they use the word sterling, it must be 92.5% pure silver, and not plated. An item marked silver, contrary to popular belief, does not mean pure or solid silver, it simply means that it contains some silver, and it doesn’t need to contain much.
