It measures 12,5 x 9 cm and ...

I'll post some better pics of the engraving tomorrow, so it can be translated entirely, if Olga would be so kind :-) Already many thanks to you all!!!

Hi to all, I am trying to identify the maker of tis small cup, which I presume to be a vodka cup. It's decorated with a art nouveau-style motif of red clover.

Hello to all, I was wondering if someone could help me find the origins of this pair of buckles. They both have identical marks: - the French import mark for large articles, as described in Tardy, period: 1798 -1803 , but also used with objects de hasard till 1809, and since 1822 on pieces of inferi...

Hi to all! And thanks for the replies! First of all, I stand corrected, as you all can see, the marks are not on the tongue but on the plate opposite to the tongue, but I do not know it's proper name.

Damn, I'm a bit mad at myself for not turning th...

Hi Oel! Thanks for your fast response! I was looking in a totally wrong direction; I don't have any standard works on Dutch silver (it's about time I invest in some decent books on the subject) and I interpreted the maker's mark as ADM and thought it was made much later, so without your knowledge an...

Hello to all! Can anyone help me with the marks on this shoe buckle? It's approximately 5,6 by 3,2 cm without the heart-shaped tongue. It weighs about 22grams. There are 3 marks on the tongue, one appears to be a capital letter O, and a shield with 6 dots, maybe a towns mark? The third mark I can't ...

The next item I hope someone can help with is this miniature kettle, It's 2,5cm high and has a diameter of 3,7cm at the widest. It weighs about 20grams. On the bottom are three marks; the city mark of Amsterdam and a letter that appears to be a capital L and a third mark I pressume to be the makers ...
