Engraving Plates Urns

Anyone Know anything about Meriden Britannia Company?

I have a meriden britannia company quadruple plate vase. I was hoping to find out what it might be worth. I am not able to get pictures of it right now but if need be I can post pictures to help. The engraving on the vase covers the whole surface. The main engraving is of flowers and there looks to be something like a marijuana leaf on it even though I'm sure that's not what it is, that's the best way I can describe what it looks like. Also it could be an urn or jar because the top rim of it is not engraved and tapers in like it is supposed to have a lid on it or something. Any information would be helpful but I would especially like to know what things like this go for in the market place. Thanks!

The Meriden Britannia Company was formed in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut. The Rogers Bros firm was purchased by Meriden Britannia in 1862, thereby acquiring the 1847 Rogers Bros line. In 1878, they had a store at Union Square in New York City and a manufacturing facility in West Meriden, CT. According to their 1878 catalogue, the company won a first place medal at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the "large variety of silver plated white metal hollow ware, of excellent quality and finish, and of tasteful designs." They were one of the original companies that joined together to form the International Silver Co. in 1898.
