Yes - it is the crest that mainly makes me inclined to think it is English. However there are also examples of decorated Hanoverian spoons with thread stems from 1st half 18th century, I think mainly by Huguenot silversmiths. I did wonder about John le Sage as he has marks IS below a crown, but none...

Hi All I am trying to identify where this teaspoon was made and if possible who the maker might be. The shape of the spoon is typical English Hanoverian and I would say it dates 1740/50. However - the front of the stem has a reeded edge and there is a moulded leaf? design at the end of the handle an...

Any idea who the maker might be? IW over13. Many thanks!

Thanks AG. Are you saying that the beakers were made in Gmund and then moved to the Austro Hungarian empire where they were marked with the co-joined VR ? Regards

Hi All. I have 2 similar beakers which appear to have hallmarks for both Gmund and the old Austro Hungarian Empire. The Gmund mark is the unicorn head facing left and the Austro Hungarian mark is a co-joined VR which I think may be a duty mark. Both beakers are stamped with the 13 standard mark and ...

Confirmed my suspicions !! Many thanks for your input. Kind regards John

Many thanks Wolfgang. I have followed up on your comments and have indeed found the mark for Jean Malquis le Quin - also another mark for him registered in1735. But have you any suggestions on what the other marks on the box are? Thanks again.

Hi all. Would be grateful for any information on this snuff box, which appears to be French and mid 18th century. It is quite large (about 8cm across and weighing 82 grams). There are 3 sets of hallmarks struck 3 times, one on the inside base, once on the inside of the cover and once on an inside wa...

Wow, that was quick! Many thanks Peter.

All the best

Hi all. Can anyone help identify town, date and maker of this tablespoon. The marks indicate Leeuwarden, but I may well be wrong. The back of the bowl is engraved : Bakkers Gilde and Lepel 1783. And also a crest, presumably of the Bakkers Gilde. It is 20cm long. As always with Dutch spoons I am a li...

Thanks Trev.

Hi. Can anyone help determine by whom and where this wine lable was made? It is crescent shaped and engraved PORT. Looks Georgian. Stamped with makers mark three times to the back. IM or possibly WI. No other marks. Many thanks John https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pic...

Thank you AG - much appreciated, and thanks too for the webpage. I will check the cost of having it professionally repaired - maybe too expensive! Best regards John

Hi All. Can anyone help identify when, where and by who this chamber stick was made. I believe it to be from Sweden as it has the three crown mark. The diameter of the dish is about 13 cm. It weighs 157 grams. It unfortunately has some significant repairs/damage where the handle joins the dish. Woul...

Many thanks Peter. I had no idea that it was for spoons!!

John

Many thanks Peter. Any idea what the letter T is for?

John

Thanks Peter - much appreciated.

Hello All. Can anyone help establish the date of this openwork vase? It is marked for 2nd standard Dutch silver, makers mark R below a hammer (ST Reitsma?), a key stamp, and a capital letter T (not in a shield). There is another mark (possibly a date letter) partly obscured by the key. Would be grat...

Hi All. I think this spoon may have been made in Leiden by Jan Ultzen. But can anyone (OEL?) confirm the date? Many thanks John

Could this mark from Rosenberg be a possibility? Volumn 2, 2564 NR 2559.
