XEIPO maker's mark?

Post by silvermatters »

I have a repousse silver bowl with the maker's mark EPT, XEIPO, 925. Has anyone ever seen this mark before? I haven't been able to find anything like it in my reference materials. Does anyone know what country this is from?

Most likely far too late to know for sure, but might it not have been ΕΡΓ ΧΕΙΡΟ which I think implies hand made or worked by hand?

I know this post is super old, but I just stumbled upon it. While they look like English letters, they are actually Greek XEIPO or ΧΕΙΡΟΣ means "by hand" or "of the hand" so the item is handmade and it is from Greece.
