I have the following tea spoon with what seems like a pseudo lion passant mark and pseudo duty head I am in England but the triangular shaped drop is not typical of an English spoon Otherwise it is fairly typical of an early 19th century english spoon There are two stamped initials 'S' and 'R' which...

Hello

I think it may be chinese
Thank you

Hello
I can't make it all out but the word on the bottom right says Fes and I suspect that the teapot is of a type that is made in large numbers in Fes, Morocco. You are right I think they tend to be a base metal, perhaps thinly silvered.
thank you
MG

It certainly does
Thank you so much Trev

Hello
Its Iranian (Persian) but I'm not sure of the purpose.

Hello I don't read farsi but I am a bit familiar with the alphabet and would say that what is written on the piece isn't the same as what you say google translates sterling silver as. Iran did have a hallmarking system and as far as I know that existed during the Pahlevi era. However, its not that c...

This is Persiam (Iranian) and clearly of high quality.
Usually Persian silver is 84% pure but many items were also 90% pure and I suspect thats what the 90 refers to

I would agree that this is in the Kashmiri regional style rather than Kutch and that it is a late 19th century pin cushion

I think this is Alexandria Egypt 1948

Hello
I think that this is sudanese and I have seen similar wares; especially bowls but also boxes and canisters
They always seem to be a very good grade of silver usually 925 but sometimes even 950

I would guess that it's fairly recent and that it's Kashmiri or Indian Islamic in style.

Hello
It's Arabic script and it says 'Allah' or God.

Thank you Hose_dk for those interesting comments I got the spoon from north England. From a vendor, I bought approximately 20 spoons. I bought them mainly because I knew it would be interesting to find out what they are. One of the spoons was English so I understood that one. All the others have mar...

I have the following interesting silver spoon. The only mark is the maker WB. My best guess is that it may be German (?) http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w661/Mehdig/P1010007_zps157899fd.jpg http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w661/Mehdig/P1010006_zps18803cbb.jpg http://i1335.photobucket.com/albu...

I wonder if anyone could shed further light on this spoon I assume that it's German. It weighs 15g and is 15.3cm long http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w661/Mehdig/P1010001_zpsa16482a7.jpg http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w661/Mehdig/p1010002_zps5632d091.jpg http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...

Thank you blakstone. I'm in England and I came across a group of about 20 teaspoons and I am slowly cleaning them carefully and trying to find out what they are. when I have time. I try to find out as much as I can myself but with most of these I will need the help of more knowledgeable contributors...

I would describe this as being a fairly contemporary variation of the Islamic influenced Kashmiri regional style.
I would expect it to be of fairly recent manufacture but its good quality and I would expect it to be sterling grade.

I wonder if anyone knows anything about the following spoon. It is marked HS and there is another mark struck twice, one on either side of this. The mark to the right is clearer. My guess is that it may be French but I attach 4 photos which I hope will help. It is 14.5cm long and weighs 13g Thank yo...

I wonder if anyone has any ideas about this tea spoon. The maker is IB and it is 13 Loth. My guess is that it's 19th century German. Its about 14cm long and weighs 12g I have attached 4 photos which I am hoping might help Thank you http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w661/Mehdig/P1010007_zps1c29e159...
