Thank you. I couldn’t quite understand whether it was suggesting the mark on my candlestick is an export, not import, mark?

Thank you. One mystery solved, just the big one to go now!

I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on the maker of these large silver candlesticks. The design is strikingly art deco, albeit with hammering effect more familiar to the arts and crafts period. They are assayed for Czech 1929-41. 800 silver standard. The question is who is the mark...

Thank you very much. It’s only an A, when the assay mark is the wrong way up! So you are right, thank you. Pest it is.

Hopefully this works.

Hi, I was hoping that someone could identify the marks on this claret jug (in fact one of a pair). It's a pretty remarkable piece with a crane handle killing two entwined snakes. These are all cast. There are three marks to identify. The tiny central mark looks like the assay mark and appears to be ...

Just setting out some corrections on Christine Connell. Mary Christine Connell was born in 1878, daughter of William George Connell who built up the family jewellery business on Cheapside. She was sister to George Laurence Connell who jointly ran the family business with her after their father’s dea...

Fab, thank you

As ever, thank you very much. Makes total sense.

Hi, Does anyone recognise this crest or coat of arms. It is from an art nouveau William Hutton and Sons spoon marked for London 1903, making it all the more unusual. It is very close to the Kingston upon Thames coat of arms, except that has a K not an A on the shield. Thank you https://www.925-1000....

Thank you so much. I thought it might be her but have never seen her silver or mark. More on her below. She was quite well known in her day and well exhibited. Amoore, Beth [1863-1944. UK.

Hi, I have just bought these tea spoons. Very arts and crafts in the style of Artificers Guild. Does anyone recognise the BA makers mark? I can only find this mark for Chester and B Ainsworth but am sure that is not it. Thank you https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/X...

Thank you, that is very helpful.

Hi, is there someone who would like to give me, or direct me to, a quick education on unregistered (18th century) marks. Why did makers not register? Having not registered how did they get their pieces assayed? Were unregistered makers marks illegal?

Thank you

Hi, this is French. Its by DuMont, who seems to have (only?) done ginko leaf jewellery. Date is c 1910

Finnish marks and vase detail below. Anyone who can tell me the Finnish maker/import mark also helpful. Thank you

https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Can anyone please identify the makers mark on this Isfahan Persian silver vase I just acquired? Not quite sure which way up is correct, so shown the mark both ways! The vase pre dates 1952, for which it carries Finnish im...

Thank you

Thank you. Encouraging! Are you able to discern the date?
