German Silverplate Creamers

[larrywseale]

I picked up a couple of silverplate creamers (perhaps the larger is a sauce boat) & the smaller is easy - GOWE SILBER 90. I have no idea whose mark is on the larger, the 7 CL size. It's tiny & that's the best picture I can get.

I'm also trying to come up with an age. I saw that there's a Hotel Schlemm in Bad Harlzburg - I can't explain the "R" on the monogram but possible this is old hotel hollowware?

Finally, I can't find many references to GOWE SILBER. I saw that they manufactured both silver & plate items & it seems they may have produced items used in hotels as well as for private individuals.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Larry,

Regarding the 7 cl creamer, silver plate mark with a bear in the inner circle is the mark of; Arthur Krupp-Berndorfer Metallwaaren-Fabrik, Bendorf Austria, Esslingen Germany and Italy. C. 1900-c.1950

GOWE stands for Gottlieb Wellner. August Wellner & Sohne, Aue, Germany. Founded in 1850 by Christian Gottlieb Wellner. Son Carl August Wellner took over in 1858. Active to 1946

Hi Vickie

Welcome to the Forum, please start a new topic. Questions about (hall)marks and makers marks cannot be answered without the required images. The below should help you:

How to Add Images

Posting Requirements

http://www.postimg.com is recommended. Embedded images get a far greater response than just posting links.

Remember to use the 'Preview' button before submitting your post.

This is how you could do it. Use a good digital camera with macro function and daylight only, no flash.
You make the required photos and store those at a photo hosting site. The photo host will ask you if you like to keep original size or like to re-size; re-size to 640x480 (medium) and upload the image(s). After you have uploaded your re-sized image, you can choose what kind of link you like to provide to enable others to view your image. You have four choices; Direct, Forum, Alt Forum and HTML; choose Forum and copy the link. Now you can paste the image-link in your 925-1000 new topic text, please use the preview button, to check quality of the image before posting.
For photo/image hosting you could choose ImageShack not free of charge but Ad free: https://imageshack.com/
but there are many other free hosting sites

I prefer a reliable image host because I do not like to lose my images. We request people not to remove their images and keep those images as long as possible for their own benefit and to benefit others. Most topics with missing images are almost worthless. See: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic ... 46&t=39786

Good luck and we hope to see some of your images.

Peter.
