Hi AG2012 Thanks for the reply One thing that is perhaps not clear is that the gray part of the photo is not protruding, but is at a lower level than the surrounding silver and the surface is rough. I had already tried with a very fine iron scourer, but the only thing I got is that the difference in...

I noticed a strange thing. There was a slightly darker speck on the pitcher's surface. I tried to clean it with a silver polish, but the stain remained. Looking through a lens, I saw that it was not a spot, but a discontinuity in the plate. I am attaching a photo, but it is not very clear. The disco...

I really think you are right

Many thanks

Hi to all, I found this jug which in my opinion is made in London in 1774. https://i.postimg.cc/Mfw6d33p/z-DSCF2900-copia.jpg The goldsmith's mark, however, according to the table of 925-1000, looks like that of William Chinnery, registered in 1825. Could it be a variant of William Cripps' one, inst...

As far as I know, there are no hallmarks for such low fineness in any country, but....

Hi
First of all, are you sure it's real silver?
Has anyone done an appropriate test?

The mark is very worn, but I would be almost certain that it is the mark of Giuseppe Balbino, supplier of the royal house.

Congratulations, nice find.

At first glance I would say they are fantasy marks.
But English silver is not my forte.

Thanks a lot, Peter

Hi Peter Just a little clarification. Nonetheless, one could ask the authorities for an assaying against payment, it means that only a silversmith could ask for for an assaying against payment, or anyone could ask for an assaying against payment, In other words, could it be that a person who owned t...

Filing it a little under one foot and putting a drop of acid on it will do no harm and will remove all doubts.

Maybe Spanish?

I return to this topic which has already been debated in depth.
I found this hallmarking on a teapot that the seller calls German. Just his opinion.

Next to the mark of fineness, 812M, is the Belgian import mark.
What to think?

The riza with san Minà is mine and was discussed in 2011, but to no avail

Everything looks fine.
The number is not read

This hallmarking is certainly anomalous and it is difficult to find a convincing explanation. Let's start with the tiara hallmark with the crossed keys. Is there a letter under the keys? I don't seem to see it, you do. Unfortunately the only photo we have is that. However, it seems to me that I can ...

Hello Aguest thanks for replying I think I don't understand your question. what do you mean with Do you see what I see in real life or is that image an artifact of the camera's pixellation process? I must specify that I do not own the lamp, they are photos that I took from the internet. Probably all...
