Trev, not too much of a fancy shop... but I've been a jewelry designer/mfg. now for 39 years this year. And I've done some silver smithing too.... just small things like spoons and such. My store hass become a museum of some sort actually. I have a complete blacksmith's shop at my house and make mos...

So these were listed as pieces by the American silversmith "Jonathan Clarke" The owner thinks these initials are "JC" but as you can see, there's not much "J" there; to me it looks like an "I" perhaps but I have to admit; it's thicker to the bottom left like a...

Thanks for the post my silver buddies! So I couldn't resist; I loaded up the sugar bowl, got out the Twinning's and.... ..... made tea! I'll bet this hasn't had tea in it in a score of years or more! Coffee pot and creamer not pictured... no room on my little cutting board! https://farm2.staticflick...

Oh wow!... thanks Trev! Yes that is the mark all right and no, not a disappointment at all. It's a beautiful set in any event. What form would you call this? I've heard this style referred to as "Chippendale" but wonder if that's even close to correct. Thanks again for the info! Regards, m...

Or so I'm thinking. The mark I have a pic of for ONC doesn't have the gothic "M" above the eagle/swan, bluejay or whatever that bird is. It's hand engraved and, I would also like to know what you would call this form. the body is quite narrow. The set consists of coffee, tea, wasted sugar ...

agphile... thanks so much! I didn't know any of that history! Very good to know and add to my notes on my little collection.

regards and thanks!

Greetings AG... what else did they have made in London?, what other items/touchmarks have you come across?

So I have to ask, since this piece is marked T & Co. who actually made it? Under British law, this piece like any other is duly marked with the aforementioned maker's mark, as well as the required (by law) metal/purity, city and year touch marks. So do we assume (or does anyone actually know) Ti...

This is just show and tell I guess, but I'm elated that finally, I got the Tiffany & Co. "Owl" mustard pot that I've been after for over a year now. I thought I'd show some pics of it as you folks on this forum are unabashedly silver nuts just like me; we are few and far between no? A ...

Got it; on the edit thing dognose.... thanks for the clarification!

So thanks to all who have responded! That's great news to know exactly who sold it and their address and date of business!

Regards
Mitch

Thanks Steve!!

I suppose I should add that the reason I put this under American silver, is that it's marked "sterling" (obviously the English language), and the lack of any British hallmarks. Additionally, is there a way to edit one's post? if you've told me this before I'm sorry to say I've forgotten th...

Here's the creamer: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1670/24395779780_fb02a50e75_c.jpg DSC09791 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1481/24323610549_50b719ed3a_c.jpg DSC09792 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1652/24323598209_b23b286886_c.jpg DSC09793 I'll guess the retailer/purveyor is the J.S. Mc Donald mar...

No one knows what pattern this is?... Really?

I'm thinking mustard pot...

I would have added that to my previous message, but I cannot remember how to edit a message on this forum. Anyone know?

What are it's measurments? Height and width of both glass insert and the silver piece beneath.

I'm looking to find out what pattern this is, and approx. when it was made. Not shown is the coffee pot and a large tray, matching, in sterling as well. The insulators are ivory. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5736/22827571896_d8b968d42b.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5720/22839975692_5e5f9c092b...

Wow! thanks! I didn't think of Alvin as there's no "crossbar" in the "A" (bad stamp?). I thought perhaps it was an upside down mark with a "V" in the center. Anyway how'd they do this? Is it arts & crafts period? I just took a guess. And on another note, how do you ...

Don't recognize this mark.. Anyone know who made it? And what do you call this sort of silver applique over glass? I've seen this done by way of silver plating over copper on lead but not solid sterling; that I can recall anyway. It's a nice piece! Any thoughts appreciated.... regards, mitch https:/...

Thanks for the replys!! Silver plate it is then.

I still like the little fellow! ;-)
