Hello All
Please help me identify a strange mark on this tea/coffee pot lid.
It has Minerva marks as French silverware.
thanks in advance

Re: Unknown mark
Hi,
It is countermark on the opposite side of the guarantee mark. These countermarks are known as "bigornes" (a counter-impression of insects).
You should search for maker`s mark ``en losange`` elsewhere on the teapot.

Many thanks! You are right - Minerva is on the other side of this mark.AG2012 wrote:Hi,

As for the maker`s mark, so far I didn`t manage to find it.
Re: Unknown mark
The maker’s mark should be close to the rim of the teapot, and also on the lid. Good luck in your hunt!
