The last mark on the list of unattributed Hanau marks also looks like it could be similar to mine. "Pyr and Basket".

Rococo Sugar Bowl

A friend asked me to research what appears to be a small sugar bowl. Rococo style, with a courting couple and cherubs. The bowl stands on four legs and has handles.

The top says "Migdal David", that's the Tower of David found in the old city. Underneath is the tower, and under that is says Jerusalem. The shaft of the spoon and fork say Israel. The bowl of the spoon again says Jerusalem with a cityscape scene. Sorry I can't help you with age or history...

On a previous thread concerning the letter "p" in a diamond, someone contributed the fact that the "p" stands for "place". Meaning, that this piece was place size, larger than luncheon size but smaller than dinner size.

OK, I think this is one of the series of flower spoons called Harlequin by Reed and Barton. Don't hold me up to this - but I think this one is Primrose.

The marking looks to me like something from Kirk, Stieff, or another of the Baltimore silversmiths, but I did not find the pattern.

Yes, there actually is a pattern called Repousse. I think there were several different productions of Repousse patterns, all with different flowers. And even within one set the flowers change from one piece to the next.

I only copied what I saw on Replacement's website. They probably attributed that pattern to the wrong year. They don't know everything, even if they think they do. And after all, there is a human at the keyboard.
