Sterling 950 markings

Post by InkedCollections »

I cannot find these markings anywhere online and was hoping people could help me out. Attached is the items that have the markings on it. I thought they may be colonial era but im not even sure what outfits they are wearing to help locate them.

Since this post was moved to Board index ‹ Asian & Middle Eastern Silver ‹ Far East i assume they are from that region?

Hi ~ welcome to the forums. They're Japanese, most likely post WWII, the mark is for Yamato of Yokohama.

Let me just add that the figures portrayed are a traditionally dressed Korean couple. Gentleman is wearing his very thin horse hair hat favored by Korean elders while she is wearing a high waisted jacket with long over layered skirt in many colors. An interesting contrast considering his clothing would primarily be in grey and black.

Enjoy!
