Hi, I had this same mark on a miniature chocolate pot. I also posted here back in 2017 (https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=150839&hilit=drafting#p150839). I discovered that the mark is that of the family of silversmiths MORAND (Orfèvre de Morand, initials "DM" et un sapin )...

Hello, I was just trying to access the site for the researching of French hallmarks this morning and came upon a new page. Looks as though there is some sort of dispute over the site within the National Library of France. Sadly, I assume the reference for silversmiths at the culture.gouv.fr site wil...

Hello, I have a French silver wine taster. It bears the Minerve 1st mark. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding the silversmith? The mark appears to have initials OC or perhaps CC? And the symbol in the center appears to be eyeglasses or spectacles. Thank you so much https://img.auctiva.co...

Hello all, I have a pretty wine taster with a silversmith's mark I cannot identify. It bears the Minerve 1 mark. The silversmith mark eludes me. I believe it is initials SS, however the last initial is rubbed. Perhaps SE? I cannot decipher what the symbol in the center is. I thought perhaps it was a...

Hello everyone, I recently acquired this lovely perfume bottle with cameo glass and French silver mounts. It bears the Minerve mark for 950 silver. The mark is located on the collar and on the base. I've looked over the mark with a loop, I do not see any other symbols other than the number 1 so I th...

Greetings, I would greatly appreciate your help please with this series of hallmarks on a gold pin. The pin has a French eagle mark for 750 / 18K. And a maker's mark, which I believe I have identified as Amédée Datigny, 1892, workshop located at 44 rue Saint-Augustin, Paris. However, the final hallm...

Greetings, I would greatly appreciate help in identifying the silversmith mark on these knives. They are marked on the blades with the Minerve 1st titre for .950, but I am struggling to find the silversmith. Appears to be initials AC. I cannot decipher the symbols above and below the initials. Thank...

Thank you so much Blakstone. I greatly appreciate this information. What a lovely history on the maker. It's very lovely, the carving is just so fine but the gold mount is especially wonderful.
Have a great weekend. Thank you again!

I have a beautiful French cameo brooch with eagle head hallmark for 18K gold. I cannot identify the maker's mark on the clasp. I know this part of the forum is for French silversmiths, but I was wondering if anyone might know the mark on the brooch as sometimes makers would work in silver and gold m...

I would greatly appreciate your help in identifying the silversmith of this lovely glass bottle. The silversmith mark is stamped twice on the object. The mark is initials MV with a symbol that looks like coffee pot, perhaps it is a pot a lait or mustard pot? I cannot tell which, but it certainly loo...

I would greatly appreciate help in identifying the silversmith who made this French silver tastevin. It is hallmarked with the Minerve 1st title mark, but I am really struggling with the silversmith's punch. It includes the initials ML and Cie with a leaf in the center. It looks like a grape leaf, b...

Zilver2 and blakstone
Thank you so much for helping me with this mark, I truly appreciate it

I would greatly appreciate your help in identifying the silversmith of this lovely little French spoon. The symbols are two crescents with a crown. I am struggling to see clearly the maker's initials, it could be GE, GB, or perhaps CB, or maybe CE? I have searched for either combination, but have no...

Zilver2 and Traintime, thank you so much for taking the time to help me with these hallmarks. I am glad to know the time frame this object was made and to know more about this silversmith. It is a pretty little piece.

I would really appreciate help in gathering more information about the approximate age and the silversmith of this tea strainer. I do have a bit of a lead, I am told the silversmith mark is for Henri Jacob in Lyon, France. Initials HJ with a ladder. However, I am not 100% certain on that information...

Greetings. I have a glass dish with silver rim marked with French hallmarks. The first is the Minerve 1st title mark. There are two areas where it is stamped with the maker's mark. However, I cannot find this maker. I struggle to identify the first initial, as the mark is partially worn. But the sec...

I found a mark that looks very similar for the maker MORAND (Orfèvre de Morand, initiales "DM" et un sapin ). I could not find it however on this site or on the culture.gouv.fr site :-(

JayT & Silverfan, Thank you so much for helping me! With your guidance, I think I found the silversmith. I searched for small tea and coffee pots online, adding a date of 2000 or so, to see if I could find something brand new in a boutique. I did find the boutique of Andre Morand, which has a lo...

I was able to do a little research. The Minerva mark here is modern, used after 1972 when silver content was lowered from .950 to .925. However I am unable to identify the letters surrounding the Minerva head. I do see the number one to indicate .925, but do not understand the letters or symbols to ...

I have a miniature tea or coffee pot with French silver hallmarks. I believe the Minerve mark is modern, but I am not familiar with modern hallmarks. Could anyone please identify the age or town? The silversmith mark I do not recognize. It look's like initials DM with a drafting compass or large cap...
