Identifying Markings on a Silver Ladle?

I have a silver punch bowl ladle that is very old, but I do not know the meaning behind the marks on the reverse side of the piece. It is marked: MK100. The 100 is in an oval. It has a pour spout on one side and it is scrolled on the upper part of the handle. A magnet does not stick to it. There are no signs of any wear. It cleaned up very nicely. It has been wrapped up forever. It was my grandmother's.

If it were silver, it would have a 925, 900, sterling or ster stamped on it. I think you have silver plate, and the mark is a manufacturer mark.

MK100 is not a normal silver marking on a piece of sterling silver. This could be a manufactures mark or another type of marking for the item.

I would consult an auction house to see how old the item is and if it is actually silver or not.
