French Chocolate Pot?

Post by bstaunto »

Hi team,

I just got this chocolate pot. It is well hallmarked...each separate attached piece is marked. The main hallmarks on the bottom are a bit rubbed. I also am still confused by French marks! I think it could be Strasbourg? Around 1770s?

But would love some confirmation and the date/maker if possible too.

Thanks,
Ben

Believe I do rekognize the Dutch script-letter V; duty mark for imported gold and silver objects, used 1906-1953 . To compare and for more information see:
