Hello!
I know that the hieroglyphs in the left column mean "pure silver." I'm wondering what the other hieroglyphs mean.

Re: Attribution

Hi ALEKS!
It seems to me that the surname of the maker is L.Tikocky. This is a typical Polish surname. Most likely you need to look in Poland or Lithuania.

The assayer is Stepan Belkin (С.Б), the maker is definitely Θ.Г (see attached photos). Unfortunately his name is unknown to me.

Re: attribution

The mark CS belongs to a German maker (Jewish?) from the city of Riga, Russian Empire. Hallmarks are Russian.
Question: are objects made, for example, in Breslau or in Danzig in the 18th-19th centuries - German or Polish?

Compare with e.g. magnificent Nigerian and Mali art, fetching high prices at auctions, but never classified as British or French artifacts. I have always belie...

Hello Silverstone!
You are mixing up August Gottfried Schmidt and August Heinrich Schmidt. These are different people and they lived and worked at different times.

Re: attribution

Annelore is also a human and could also made a mistake :-). I believe that the mark A.S in the oval belongs to August Heinrich Schmidt (No 264 from V.Vilite).
