A number of antique silver bowls and other pieces may have the words soldered silver stamped somewhere on the item. The term soldered silver is used to describe the specific process through which the bowl was made.
Silver solder, as all solders, needs to have a melting point, lower that the pieces to be joined. It comes in a variety of grades, with Hard Solder having a melting point of 745-779 degrees centigrade. A ounce of typical hard solder will be an alloy of 16dwt fine silver 3dwt 12gr copper and 12gr zinc. Hope this adds to the information. Paul..
