Re: Ox Eye Cup - James Fraillon
Hello David, Thank you for taking time out to research this and respond. This type of vessel is generally associated with Oxford colleges where it is also known as a college pot and with this in mind (I also acquired it in Oxford) I looked at the crests of the various Oxford colleges and found Magda...

Ox Eye Cup - James Fraillon
Hello, I need your help on this recent acquisition, an ox eye (or college) cup by James Fraillon and assayed in 1720. The cup is 11 cms high and weighs 12 ozs. My research indicates a possible attribution for the crest to the Duke of Bedford but this is based only on the 3 scallops in chief, I can f...

Pseudo marks or something else
Hello,
Attached are some images of the marks on a silver plate, about 18.5cms diameter, which look to be Dutch but could be something else. Any ideas?

Re: I this mark Jersey or London?
Hi Phil, Having also looked through Jacksons and Grimwade without success I had also come to the conclusion that Jersey was the most likely attribution but as the Untermyer collection had been scrutinised, documented and catalogued by some distinguished experts I thought that I may have missed somet...

Why is there no lions head erased?
Hello, The marks on this cup and cover are the 1718 date mark, the makers mark for William Fleming and two Britannia marks but no lions head erased mark. Any ideas why other than a forgetful assayer?

Hi, Your reply has both pointed me in the right direction and corrected my lack of knowledge for which I thank you. Whilst this may not be the forum for this type of discussion I have found in The Genealogy of the Existing British Peerage that the arms are, as you stated, for the Baroness North. As ...

Re: Think this is Early English - Help Please
Hello English Lady from Kent, The box is either a patch box or counter box, the jury is still out on which it is. Regards, Trevor P.s here another box I have that is slightly larger, and so probably a patch box, and also earlier ~1660 but again with a Tudor Rose. http://img150.imagevenue.com/loc481/...

Re: Think this is Early English - Help Please
Hi, I have several 17th century silver counter and pill boxes including one with a similar "Tudor Rose" embossed to the top and with the same makers mark IF. Due to the very thin silver sheet they were made from they do appear to be both flimsy and crudely made however silver was in short ...

Re: 1683 London, maker "M" ????
This looks like TM in monogram.A mark not dissimilar is shown in Jacksons (2011 edition) page 127, sadly the maker is not identified.
