Early mark of Roman Plewkiewicz firm, which refers to galvanic silver deposition. It consists of the Polish inscription "PLEWKIEWICZ W WARSZAWIE", which means in English "PLEWKIEWICZ IN WARSAW", placed in an oblong oval. The volume of a table ware item is given in tenth parts of a litre. Such designation is characteristic for the items, produced by Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) in 1885-1895. In addition, this early Plewkiewicz mark contains a letter "N" in a square box. Such designation means "normal thickness of silver deposited onto the surface of the base metal (usually on brass)". It is characteristic for many other Warsaw silver plate companies, utilizing the galvanic approach of silver deposition (Fraget, Norblin, Bros. Henneberg, etc.). Extremely rare.

Main mark of Roman Plewkiewicz foundry, which refers to galvanic silver deposition. Very similar in design to the marks used by WMF in the same period. In the centre of the mark there is an oval, which contains the Polish inscription "PLEWKIEWICZ W WARSZAWIE", which means in English "PLEWKIEWICZ IN WARSAW". The size of the oval is 6.1 mm x 8.9 mm. Above the oval there is a fraction 1/0 (WMF used a somewhat different fraction, I/0), which again means "normal thickness of silver deposited onto the surface of the base metal". In this specific case the brass was used as a base metal, which is marked by the letter "M", put below the oval (WMF also used the same letter for marking the silver deposition on brass). Common.
