Hi guys I wonder if anyone can identify this mark on a small petter pot/spice pot. It is etched with birds and a hare. Lovely little item. I wonder if it is Ottoman or Persian. Appreciated as always. https://i.postimg.cc/G8c5bzJ4/SAM-8200.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LYbBGVyK/SAM-8203.jpg https://i.post...
Hi Guys, very long shot. I got this little toy chair the other day and just thought it was brass or copper. I noticed a makers mark on the back. I was testing a bit of gold the other night, trying to learn how to recognise colour changes and I put some acid on this chair expecting it to froth like a...

Hi Guys, silver jug weighs about 338g. Has these marks - sorry, not the sharpest. I am told they are Danish 1903. I'm sure I have seen the likes somewhere but I can't find anything similar now.

I have looked on line, including this forum, but a lot of the information seems difficult to interpret. The mark loo...
Hi guys; bit of a long shot. I got this the other day; I was told it was a vesta, but it looks more like a stamp holder. I'm not sure. Measures 5.5 by 5cm. Marked 925 sterling in english but not english hallmarks. Just by looking, would anyone have a guess at what it is and possibly its country of o...
Hi Guys; I wonder if anyone can give any info on the marks of this silver cat (filled I should imagine). It looks a bit odd (the cat). It has hall marks, not English, very small and rubbed. I can make out the letters Ag before the hall mark. There are some bigger marks and I thought these may shed a...
