Good evening Got this a while back and never really looked into its history. Is it Chinese or Tibetan? I think it is copper and a white metal (could be silver?). It is 15cm high and got agate stones inset into a nickle silver type metal. Any help is welcome Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/tJJj5PQW/20210...

Hi Jannie, And could the 'AB' stand for Algoa Bay? See: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=15236&p=81439&hilit=daniel#p81439 Trev. Hi Trev, I can't find much examples of his work and think pieces by him are not that common. The few on the net do mostly have only the B m...

Good evening I think these are the marks of the Cape Silversmith, Peter Clarke Daniel. Grote Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/XqP2ck30/20210413_233103.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PrLVf9zf/20210413_233108.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/28Pc1G2Q/20210413_233113.jpg

Good evening I have 2 identical teaspoons by the Cape Silversmith, Lawrence Twentyman. Is there any information on what period he used this set of Pseudo hallmarks. My brother-in-law owns and live on the farm once owned by Lawrence Twentyman here in South Africa. Farm is called Avontuur and is near ...

Good day Family of mine got a selection of mostly late 18th century British sterling. I found this in between them. Any information is welcome. They still use it to serve food and it has been in the family for at least 40 years. Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/B8yxYQg7/20210413-124251.jpg https://i.post...

Personally, seeing some sort of calligraphy, but not a tughra. Mine was purchased from a dealer who brought back dozens of them from a buying trip to India, and having seen many with extremely similar design also identified as Indian, sometimes from India-based sellers, unless provided with reliabl...

Hi, Lassi cups are fairly common (Punjab), more often with floral décor (non Islamic), but also with Arabic inscriptions (Islamic region of Indian subcontinent before Pakistan independence and separation in 1947, so Indian historically). Depicted here is my Ottoman cup, similar but not identical. I...

Mine, posted below, is an Indian brass drinking cup/glass, was told it likely dates from the early to mid 20th century, they're typically used for the yoghurt-based 'lassi', as well as water (makes a good pen cup since it's so sturdy). Similar pieces are fairly common... ~Cheryl https://i.postimg.c...

Hi, I have very similar cup with solid provenance; from a public fountain in a town in Greek Macedonia. Arab and Farsi speakers recognized the letters but could not translate the meaning. Having in mind the provenance, I thought it was from Ottoman empire. But, modern Turks were unable to read Arab...

Good afternoon I have this plated copper/brass cup with Arabic writing on it. The inside is plated with some white metal. Are there any way to figure out where it is from and what age it is. Can someone possibly give me a forum where one can find information about these type of Islamic copper object...
