Very nice Ottoman Egyptian silver goblet. I am going to have to disagree on the date comment. Although you are reading 1803 correctly, such cups were not made at that time (1803) even in Istanbul.

I recently got this silver box with a dragon on it. I think it is Chinese, but I couldn't find the maker's mark. Any information is highly appreciated.
