A goose egg cup is the most likely attribution for this item.
I did think it was perhaps not the best shape for drinking from.
Thanks for your help.

A family member, a retired silversmith thinks that this item is more likely a Goose egg cup than a goblet. The top lip is folded over which would perhaps not be essential on a goblet but would reinforce the top to hold an egg securely. It measures 6 cm across the top and is nearly 6 cm full depth. (...

Hello Miles, Edward Byne 1802-16 A great set of marks for your research Unusual pointed bowls, perhaps not that popular a shape as he only seems to have made 9 pairs according to the Exeter assay office records.

Thanks for the information links posted. More than happy to think of it as a John Warner goblet, the lack of a pellet just made me wonder if there was another possible provincial smith. Your info seems to rule out John Williams and James Warner by the process of elimination so thank you for that. Th...

I have this lovely little goblet about 10 cm tall. Marked underneath STERLIN- and IW There is no pellet between letters and the punch is broken above the W Is this John Warner of Cork or maybe another IW silversmith ?

Hi,
I think this is James Wright of Perth 1790-1810
This mark can be found in Richard Turners new directory of Scottish marks book, page 85
If you have not got his book try www.silvercollection.it under the Perth section you will find this mark.

Hi all, I have had a suggestion from a learned colleague that the box is probably continental with some age and the stone added later, which makes sense as the only part that seems to suggest Scottish is the stone, maybe the stone is a distraction and this should just be viewed and judged as a blank...

I have just mastered how to load pics so have updated my earlier posting with just a link.
John Warner of Cork and virtually the same mark as the listed William Teulon example.

Hi, Any ideas please on this pretty trinket box of 7cm dia. Only the SLD mark on the base, no marks at all on the removable top. Fairly sure it is of Scottish origins and silver.

Sorry Phil, I thought I was seeing a letter "S" sideways on. The answer is the same on EP&Co. mentioned on the silvermakersmarks site for a range of items but no attribution to who it might be. Robert

Hi, your dish is Sterling silver, the mark is actually SP&Co a Sheffield maker mark on "www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk" website. Unfortunately there is no maker attributed to the mark there but the mark has been seen on a 1964 dish which ties in with your 1961 dish. Perhaps some other mem...

This Sterling mark for John Warner Cork.
On Hanoverian fork circa 1785
Looks like a shared punch with William Teulon from the earlier listing

Hi oel , I did look at the mark you refer to earlier but would the number 13 have been applied as well ?
I must admit that Hanau is the most likely attribution for this cross though. Any idea of the age ?

Hi Trev, hope these pics are ok https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67756755/2015-03-21%2013.20.53.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67756755/2015-03-21%2013.20.21.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67756755/2015-03-21%2013.22.05.jpg

Hi, help needed on this item. It is a large ornate crucifix which has some odd marks on. Letters J.N.R.J which I believe is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. 7.5 cm high and quite nice quality workmanship Some signs still of gilding https://db.tt/KoxrNxvv https://db.tt/bplbLsiv https://db.tt/LNZ1...

Hi.
Thanks for the information.
I was thinking Scottish mainly due to the wheel and spokes type marks.
It is easy to find similar Cape examples once you know what to hunt for.
Your input is much appreciated.
My second Cape piece recently which is pleasing.
Bob

Hi, Help needed on this strange set of marks on this dessert spoon I have listed them under this forum as similar marks to some other Scottish ones I have. A nice spoon with well struck marks, crest may help an attribution. It looks more like a seabird than a bird of prey to me but ornithology is no...

Hi Trev & Maurice A pair of Cassidy tongs for comparison to your spoon shell bowl decoration. I make them Dublin 1769 as marks still very crisp. He must have been a very accomplished silversmith judging by the various skills used on this pair. A top quality example, a shame so little is known of...

Hi Trev, A nice pair of tongs, feel and look as though they have been kicking about a while. A collectable aged pair if nothing else and now in my unconfirmed box. At least the marks are well struck and not rubbed away. You have to give a bit of credit to the maker no matter how dubious his intentio...

Hi,
these tongs appear to be Georgian period and may be gilded on silverplate or even maybe brass.
Great set of odd marks to determine please.
