Small, plain sterling silver bowl used to hold matching tea strainer. Stamped on bottom "Webster, Sterling, 13692" The Webster Company was originally founded by George K.

Their line of sterling items included over 20 patterns of dresser sets, picture frames, cigarette holders, bowls, baby items, candlesticks, napkin rings and more. They were primarily manufacturers of sterling items, however they did have a small line of silver plate items. In 1958, they purchased the Frank W.
