That tag is definitely stamped for Tiffany & Co. It may have been made for them by Armburst, or someone may have added the tag later.

at that size it would be a compote, used as a centerpiece to hold fruit or flowers.

Buckler, that is a natural progression when dealing with the public!

Without dimensions: it appears to be a sugar bowl.

Your ring appears to be 10Kt. white gold with a hardstone cameo (carved from a banded agate). The white upper portion carved for detail with the carnelian base for the background. The subject is supposed to be Ceres carrying a sheaf of wheat. It would have been made between 1905 and 1918 and your gr...

Vic, I think you will get a reply from them. I have always found them to be very helpful.

Sorry, Lucleus the images are too fuzzy to make out the mark. Any chance of clearer images?

The name escapes me at the moment... happens a lot lately... However they were usually owned by doctors and used atop a chimnied lamp (kerosine type) to heat water for a cup of tea, a medicinal concoction, or warm milk.

Most European countries require a maker's mark as part of their marking laws. In the US, a similar law has been around since the 1890's. However in the US there is no guild hall system or any other legal entity that oversees the process, therefore many handcrafters and students forgo a maker's mark....

It appears to be a posie holder.

Actually that is the maker's mark of Watson Co. of Attleboro, MA. Shreve, Crump & Low was the retailer.

If anything it would devalue the piece to have the maker's mark incorrectly applied (think of a pair of jeans with the lable un-side-down). It would be considered a second quality piece. It conotes low concern for the quality of their finished piece and the piece may have been origionally sold at a ...

It might have been made on a Monday or Friday (leaning toward the Friday) with the stamper saying either, "It will buff out in finishing" and it didn't or "I will fix that on Monday" and forgot it over the weekend... by the time it was inspected it was too late to fix and yet had...

The H.&H. Stamp is the mark of Hamilton &Hamilton of Providence RI. I do not know what the other mark is for.

Never that I know of, unless it was imported, in which case it would have quite a few hallmarks.

I always find if I can reduce the style to one level of the peerage it is so much easier to locate the owner of the crest or arms or at least the family.

Do there appear to be balls between the oak leaves? If not it appears to be the same stag as your other piece, but with an elevation to a Duke. Easiest to remember the English crowns: Big balls in a row (usually 4-5)= Barron Small balls in a row (usually 7-9)=Vicount Balls on high spurs, oak leaves ...

That is the crown of an Earl, so it belonged to someone of certain importance.

If I can toss in an idea from the other side of the pond. Here reputed still has meaning of: generally believed: widely believed, although not necessarily established as fact. Which would fit into the origional post. Margaret Murphy, Widow was said to be his wife, and Mary Murphy was said to be his ...

This makersmark is inscribed, most likely with a scribe. Since it is not a registered "trade mark" it wouldn't be listed in most reference books. Sorry.
