Plated French cup

Hello

Yours present you've got from yours father is a plated French cup.

All French Plated makers’ marks have to be placed in a square cartouche; or maker's name in a horizontal rectangle.

Even so has the indication of used silver in g, for the Electro plating processing, to be shown in a square cartouche too. So the »1 1/2« signification is, that 1.5 g silver were used.

Please search before you place a question, in the future other basic information’s, you could find in »925-1000«.

These are only very few examples, you could already find, before you ask.

I haven't searched yet to yours maker's mark - so you've all chances to find it out before me.

Please then let us now the result of yours searches.

Thank you!

Hi,
