Help with a maker’s mark

I got this dish the other day, it’s first standard, but I cannot find the maker’s mark. Does anyone know who the maker is and when they operated? http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1688/11946691/24802492/414497393.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1688/11946691/24802492/414497391.jpg http://pic20.p...

Re: German Silver Marked 800 Only?

A friend pointed me towards another possibility of it being Lazarus Posen . I'm honestly leaning more towards Posen now given the extreme similarity in design in examples that I am seeing. Is there any reason why he would only mark this 800? I cannot understand making such a wonderful piece and not ...

Re: German Silver Marked 800 Only?

My gut is that it's German. Plus it looks similar to works by Julius Herz.

I am finding this looks like it might have been made by Julius Herz. Does anyone have any examples of Herz's work?

German Silver Marked 800 Only?

Is this common practice? I recently found a piece that I believe to be German and it's marked only with "800" It's a somewhat important piece in the Trompe L'oeil style. Why would they not mark this with a maker's mark or hallmarks? I'll post pictures in a few minutes. Below the 800 mark y...

Re: Help with a French gold maker

I believe this maker is Leon Tournan. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a picture of his mark? Or any biography information?

Thanks!

Re: RJ Wilson? Maker or retailer?

Looking at those marks, It looks to me like a retailer's mark. That's just my gut.

Re: Is this American Colonial?

I'm still holding out to find this is a New York colonial piece of Dutch influence. I have no New York books however and I'm open to any help that can be shared.

I genuinely appreciate everyone's help so far! :-)
