Hello,
I need help figuring out the origin of a water pitcher. It appears to be copper with silver plate.
It has very intricate designs that I believe were hammered out from the inside, of leaves, grapes and vines.
It has 6 hallmarks and a number.
a Lion, with raised front paw
an "A' on a 'shield' that has simple horizontal lines across it
what looks like fronds gathered on a base with roots[?]
Then under these, 3 squares that have;
an arm holding a hammer
a bell
another arm with hammer
And the number 47
the 4 punched in
the 7 raised
Not a lot to go on, But I hoped someone will try to help me
I thank you for your consideration,
Glenn

Thank you for your help AG2012.
A beautiful piece, apparently not valuable,
but pleasing to the eye.
