Re: 1500-1700 Hamburg or pseudo mark?

The color looks a bit pewter to me, but it definitely resembles the 17th century Hamburg marks. I appreciate any help.
It looks like pewter to me too, most likely.
There are many ways to distinguish silver from pewter.
Try one.

Re: 1700 Portuguese silver paten

The writing BSG doesn't seem very Italian from the 1700, it could have been made later.

Re: ID silver (?) XIX century (?) mark two crossed scepters under crown with A(?)

Hi Tomasz I'm glad you were interested in my article. I, and others too maybe, would be interested to know if you have found out whether your statue is solid silver or silverplate. Furthermore,if you don't mind, it would be a great gift for me if you posted a well-focused photograph of the pseudomar...

Re: ID silver (?) XIX century (?) mark two crossed scepters under crown with A(?)

Hi wozniaks The mark you show, mimics that of the 19th century Papal State. It is visibly fake, but this does not mean that the object is not made of silver. You can also find pseudomarks on good quality silver artefacts. For more details on Italian pseudo-marks see here https://www.925-1000.com/for...

Re: Potential silverplate: B, Fleur-de-lis, G, unknown image

Thanks for your image. I can add a clarification: the first letter of the assayer's mark is not a B but a Z interwined with a P (Zuan Piero) Below is a well-struck example. https://i.postimg.cc/dQ99bDxB/zuanpiero.jpg As I said it is easy to find fakes, below is an example, unfortunately of one of my...

The absence of marks on the foot is not necessarily proof of a fake.
What's inside the red circle, is it just a decoration?

Re: Potential silverplate: B, Fleur-de-lis, G, unknown image

Hi Bertie Your object is an incense vessel of typical Venetian shape. The mark with the lis flower is that of the "sazador" (assayer) Zuan Piero Grappiglia (second half of the 18th century, until 1802, according to Pazzi's book) The other mark is a "moleca", hallmark of the Venic...

Re: Italian Serving Tray

This tray does not have official Italian marks from the 20th or 21st century and this raises some doubts. It seems unlikely that this object is prior to 1935 and furthermore, judging from the photo, it appears to be very thin in thickness. If it were made of 925/1000 silver I imagine it would be def...
