I have a matching sugar bowl and cream pitcher marked “Sheffield, Made in US” under a rising sun (with lots of rays). Under that are 5 tiny square (?) marks (might be M, B, D, E, N in fancy script).
Both are 4″ high. The widest reach of the handles is 5″ across. No Googling has revealed a US maker (reproducer?) of “Sheffield” designs that used a sunshine logo as its mark. Suggestions are welcome!
I am not familiar with the argental mix either !! I found that information in the company history !! I am not sure if it was ever used commercially !! But since the economy at that time was not great they may have tried it to keep prices affordable !! And they may have wanted that pewter like appearance !!
