Description from the seller

Marking WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) metalware with "I/O" and "as" indicates a specific type of silvering and finish from the period 1886-1930.
Here is the meaning of the markings:
• WMF: The manufacturer, Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (Germany).
• I/O: Stands for "Normal-Versilberung" (normal thickness of silvering), meaning that 1 gram of silver is deposited on 100 cm² (1 dm²) of the surface of the base metal. This is commonly used for cutlery and hollowware (dishes, jugs).
• as (in a cartouche): Stands for "antiquiert" or "antique silver finish". This means the silvered surface is artificially darkened to a gray-black color to give an antique appearance.
Context of the markings:
• Base metal: The letters that are sometimes seen with WMF (WMFN, WMFM, WMFB) indicate the base metal that was silvered: M: Messing.
