What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an early 20th century american silver overlay decanter with stopper ( not on the photo), manufactured by Alvin Silver Co. ( later part of Gorham), pure silver 1000 fineness with a lovely floral engraving. The glass appears to be clear and unaffected of any corrosion which is so typical for older decanters. The estimate is based on similar items sold at auction. "Asking prices" in the trade are ususally double the high estimate or even higher. There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the item.

Thank you SO much! Actually I just found the stopper and it fits and has the same silver design. I had no idea this was a decanter and thought it was a pitcher so I did not even think they went together. Would I need to do another appraisal to include the stopper? By the way, we cannot begin to sell these items until we have the go-a-head with the attorney
but might want to sell them if everyone agrees.

Thank you so much. Once I added the stopper it really made
a lovely decanter!
