Hi again, Sorry for the delay in responding...I have two year old twins and just things get hectic around here, haha I agree fully with your assessment of John Robins, especially after googling his work. I found a couple of things that were VERY similar to these in form, and even one pair with the s...

Martin you hit the nail on the head! Georgian Sauce Tureen is the google ticket. Here is a similar pair:

(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )

Not too shabby. Thanks a million!

Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply. They are only about 6" x 4" x 3", with the 3" being from the bottom of the feet to the lip of the actual vessel (so not including the lid). The spoon slot is REALLY tiny, about a half a cm across. Most of the soup tureens I have seen are gigantic,...

Hi all, Just picked up these two...I am reasonably certain that they are from London, 1801, the maker I think is John Reily but if you have a differing opinion please let me know! These dishes are nuts. Well, literally in one sense. The top part (handle? Finial?) of either kid is held on by a wingnu...

Hi there, I came across this three section divided and covered dish with this marking. Anyone know who made it? Thanks a lot!! https://i.imgur.com/xaQZycf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nenAxpw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ku0geoZ.jpg Ps sorry for the mother in law sheet background lol

Awesome thank you Cheryl! Such good info, I had no idea about Towle's origins like that. I will add that to my "database" haha. I have a bunch of these teaspoons and I love that they are called Verona - like romeo and juliet! hehe. :)

Thanks again!!

Ha!

I thought towle but I thought Towle only had a lion!!

THANK YOU!!!

Hi again, I cannot find this maker for the life of me. I really like the pattern too and I would like to know when it is from! It looks really old, it's pretty thin too. Marked with a Jeweler's stamp as well - MW Shaw who I thinkwas out of Galveston TX. Thanks so much! http://www.imgur.com/HLrZM2s.j...

Trev if I would have known you were going to use my photo on a topic I would have at least taken it not in front of my gross old radiator lol. ;)

You guys are absolutely encyclopedic. I bow to your incredible knowledge base!! Thank you so much!! Traintime I have to ask, are you a railfan? My dad is heavily involved in that community :) Me not so much but whenever I see an artifact of the golden age of railroad in my hunts I buy it and set it ...

OMG that was so fast!!! I was just looking under the *symbols* section!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am going to research this firm more in the coming days.

Thank you, thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!!!

Clearly I do not know how to edit a post!

Here is a better photo of the makers mark with the word "made" visible.

Oh! And one other thing: You can only really see it with a loupe but on the inside of the symbol is the word "MADE"

Maybe "Hand" "Made"???????? Idk.

Howdy again, This is a coin spoon that was in a box of rando flatware from a thrift store (again) I didn't even notice the "J.F. Butler" until I was taking pictures just now, but I am thinking maybe that is similar to like your Shreve & Co. s where there is a jeweler stamped and also a...

Howdy, Long, long time lurker, first time poster. This site has been a big part of my erm, extensive silver collecting habit (thanks a lot. haha) :) I picked this up at a thrift store, of all places, and I cannot find the mark for the life of me. I have looked on the symbols pages of this site and o...
