What does the IS stamp mean on silverware?
On silverware, the IS stamp means International Silver. Founded in 1894, International Silver was a consortium of silversmiths that joined forces to help regulate and improve the silver market. Pieces bearing the IS mark come from a silversmith who was a part of this collective. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of silverware.
