Hello,
I have recently inherited a house with an assortment of items inside. One of which is this silver bowl.
I can not identify it hallmarks and can only assume it is quite old due to its tarnish and rusticness.
Can anyone help me please?

Unknown Hallmark - Asian Sterling Silver
Re: Unknown Hallmark - Asian Sterling Silver
Hello and welcome to the forum.
On the lefthand set of markings I can only make out the second characters "銀", which translates to "silver".
I cannot read the righthand set of markings, but they are likely to be the name of the silversmith.
Please try to add a clearer image of the marks and let's see if other members can help fill in the details.

I concur with MGArgent. It says "silver" plus the maker's mark which I cannot read.

Whoops, sorry about that forum faux pas.
I wasn't sure about that, but now I know.

Hello All,
Thank you for taking the time to look at these markings on this bowl. I have taken another, clearer, picture and added it to this response.
Do these markings tell anyone anything?
