http://i.imgur.com/iREmc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DirPM.jpg Art Nouveau beaker, 6 inches tall. ``FR`` should be Franz Rumwolf, Vienna. Interestingly, a silver item with exactly the same ``FR`` mark evaluated by Dorotheum auction house was attributed to another maker. Is it Franz Rumwolf?

http://i.imgur.com/jlad6.jpg Antal Bachruch was an important silver and jewelry retailer and importer, located in Budapest at the turn of 19th/20th century, succeeded later by the firm ``A.Bachruch succ.`` There are many silver pieces offered as ``maker`` A.Bachruch — Austria.

Right,have used 30X magnification - it is ``m`` but the mark being close to the bottom rim was rubbed off by long use.Thanks a lot.

Married metal, right - joining various colored alloys, such as of bronze, copper and silver, adjacent to one another. I suppose it is not marked as silver because of too many other alloys.

Filigree work — seldom marked and made almost everywhere, as pointed out by kind friend from Denmark. Let’s concentrate on the craftsmanship then; various shapes made of twisted wire, then placed on flat surface and dusted with powdered solder and heated with a burner. Not too complicated unless sol...

Thanks a lot.The year looks like 1803.

Excellent! The information is most valuable; the silversmith entered the guild in 1811, proving the fact ``Riedelpunze`` for 1810 was used until 1812. Thanks a lot.
