Hi Peter
Your "Swam mark link " seems to be talking about the swan mark in oval ,this Swan mark is in a CIRCLE.
Not the same mark.
read section on bottom of my last post ,seems that mark to me.

thanks Peter for your reply.
I do not feel the grape vine mark is the same as the Hanau mark. What do others think?
Is there more info on the French swan mark.
the owner would be very disappionted if this information is correct.

Thanks Jayt not easy to understand this box for me,I do not want to bother seller,to look into mark,not sure if he has correct date,and mark? if this style of box was made with the intaglio at that period?

Hello Oel
after all my excitement re your previous post,I have noticed the engraved name on the box is Botser ,with an S and not Z.
Do you feel it is the same person and just a spelling error? or another person completely?

Also Venezuela does not seem to get a mention in his bio.

Regards Guido

Sorry forgot to add description.
added here.

Regards Guido.
