Just hoping someone might know something about the design of this ashtray. It could be a one off thing and nothing more or mid century and modernist, but if anyone knows something about the design or the designer, I would be interested to hear about it. Not sure it is right side up. Thank you in adv...

Thank you wev. I’ve just been looking at a couple of Robert Brookhouse coffin end spoons that are up for auction, and they vaguely look like they have the beginnings of crescents inscribed on their heals.

it seems like you specifically are researching these spoons ::::::: I am interested in the incised drops just because they seem to be so much more prevalent on European flatware. At the same time I do realizes that practices among craftsman did transfer to this country from around the world. So I'l...

I'd like to see more examples of inscribed markings on the heal of American spoons, but the mark seems pretty good for Brookhouse, so either way thanks again.

Great! I truly did not expect this spoon to be American and again because of the two semi circle lines on the heal of the spoon. Definitely something I'm used to seeing on continental spoons. Here's what should be a better image of the lines:

When I began doing this post I just wanted to see if anyone recognized the maker's mark. Once I enlarged the images I noticed two semi circles on the heal of the spoon inside the rough red encirclement which gives me the impression that the spoon is continental. Help of any kind will be very much ap...

Giving this a bump just in case there is anything that can be added to its story.

Oh and welcome to the forum.

I believe the spoon is coin silver going by the pseudo marks. Can you make out more of the name than appears in the image. I think I see D D Po…. It seems likely to be a retailer’s stamp.

This is the five piece tea and coffee set that goes with this post. Everything is as as expected.

Thank you all for this great information that converged here so quickly. For so long I’ve just been in awe of the tremendous size and weight of these pieces alone.

Thank you AG2012. How does k. k. Hoflieferant fit in the picture?

Again on second thought, I think I have the explanation for this term. Thank you.

On second thought, I think I've probably read enough on the subject already. Thank you anyway.

Thank you Peter. I'm sure it's important, but if you will please enlighten me more on the significance of a Royal Warrant.

At this point I take the third mark to be the Austrian double headed eagle.

Here’s the entire group:

The knight's helm is a trade mark of Josef Carl Klinkosch, who I believe were the Court silversmiths, which may account for the other mark :



I think variations of the knight's helm mark are to be found.

Thank you Trev.
