Hi,

Please help me out with this mark. What company did it belong to? When exactly was it used? I cannot find it anywhere. This mark is struck on a jug from probably 1930.-1940., it's definitely pure art-deco style. Picture of the mark is below.

Hi, I came across this piece. It looks it might date back to the end of XVIII cent. The form of the jug reminds english ones, but it comes from the continental europe what the marks proove. They are shown below. I cannot identify these marks. One shows letter "p" (with the base split into ...

Thank you for your help.

Best regards!

Hello, I' ve got an interesting object for you. It is a sugar castor made in second half of the XVIII century. It bears very indistinct marks which are shown below. http://images45.fotosik.pl/508/bbfe8c8cbce2cfa8.jpg http://images49.fotosik.pl/506/1442275cb63e905dmed.jpg http://images41.fotosik.pl/5...

The sugar box from Kalisz bears just two marks: 12 and SUCK . There is no city mark. The city mark of Kalisz is very hard to find and it was used in earlier period, probably before 1817 or so. It depicts a trumpeter in an oval-schaped mark, it's shown in Gradowski book of Polish silver marks. On the...

Thank you for your help Theodorich. Didn't expect I will receive a response so quickly. I've got one more question to you. Could you please explain it to me what you meant by "Patin"? I don't know such a word.

One little notice. It's not an ethrog box. It's just a regular sugar box. The handle on the top in shape of fruits and leaves might be in this case misleading. Sometimes sellers describe this kind of a sugarbox as an ethrog box but is ussually to wrip more profits from the sale (as antique jewish it...

Dear members, Please help me find out what silversmith made that sugarbox. City mark indicates it comes from Magdeburg, the style of the sugar box suggests it was made in years 1790-1800. Master's mark is divided into two lines and spelled NICOLA. (?). Please help me find out if there was a silversm...

Dear members. Maybe you will be able to find out where this candlestick is from. The marks on this item are not clear. I guess it might be Berlin, but I'm not completely sure. It was probably made circa 1750. Maybe anyone could find the maker's mark. The characteristic thing about it is that it's wr...

Thank you Silverport for your comment. You are right about the dating of this object - it also seems to me that the piece is younger than signatures would suggest.

Best regards!

No problem Qrt.S I'm not offended or anything. Sorry if you took that way. Let me give you a big wet kiss to prove it =* :)

Dear members, Does anybody know who the GO maker is? I would also like to know where and when he worked. http://fotoo.pl/zdjecia/files/2010-03/26859006.jpg http://fotoo.pl/zdjecia/files/2010-03/e6b81720.jpg I can't see any letter in tha diana mark, so I guess it dates back to years 1866-1872. But wh...

I just found a proper citation in a catalogue "Warszawskie srebra i platery w zbiorach Muzeum Mazowieckiego w PÅ‚ocku" (ang. Silver and silverplated items from Warsaw in collection of city Museum of PÅ‚ock) by R. Bobrow. There is an interesting chapter on marks used on silver in Warsaw. Fi...

You are right when you say there was no such thing as Poland at the time. When I used word Poland I meant the territory of today's Poland and Polish society in general. Don't teach a Pole about history of his country :) The truth is that Russians at the time (Warsaw was controled by Russia when Emil...

There are known examples of Polish silver that have been done in period before 1851 and bearied 84 silver standard number. It was probably because some of the clients wanted their silver to be of higher standard used in Russia. You've got to remember that Poland at this point was strongly influenced...

Thank you for your information JAKJO.

I think interesting thing about these two items is that there are no maker's mark on them. Just the city mark and the silver standard numer (12 and 13).

Thank you for this information Theoderich. Unfortunately there is no inscription and no other marks on the chalice.

But I wonder... Maybe this really is just a fancy master's mark in shape of three-leaf clover. Style of all three letters is pretty much similar.

I have never seen any pieces from this town. I wrote what I have read in "Znaki na srebrze" by Michał Gradowski. The author didn't come along any of these pieces either but repeated this attribution after the L. Lepszy "Przemysł złotniczy w Polsce" from the 1933. So it's not c...

Similar city mark B was used in 18. century in town Biecz (today Poland)
