Re: 18th Nuremberg silver cup ?

I don't even dare to write anything about it. I think it's really nice work. I also believe that the "engravings" are etched. To do this, the object was covered with a fine layer of wax and the wax was then removed with a graver from the areas where the acid would later do its work. A real...

Re: German? dish

Re: 12 Loth German spoons

It is good that you turn to this forum with your question, because your assumptions are far from reality. First of all, I would be interested to know if you think the five spoons are from Frankfurt. There are about 2000 cities in Germany, more than 100 of which had an eagle in the city coat of arms....

Re: Silver gilt box - swords & 12 mark. German?

I am not sure, but I think it is from Thuringia.
There was a maker Johann Gottlob Pundselius (Bonselius) in Schleiz.
He was lerning in Leipzig 1787-93 (master Barthel)
oo (I) 11.Nov. 1798 Henriette Louise Wilhelmine Groschuft.
oo(II) 1800 Friedeike Sophie Fischer.

Later he was going to Wien.

Re: Here's a tough one for the forum

this is an intesting question.
I know this mark from an other objekt.
Makersmark is CWE.

the mark in the middle looks similar to marks from Zürich.

I think it is probably south-west-Germany or swiss.
