I have a silver wedding cup which resembles a 17th century dutch/german model, with marks that kind of resemble an Augsburg mark. However, I read that 19th century Hanau silversmiths also used marks which resemble 17th century Augsburg marks. Could somebody tell me whether this is a Hanau piece (Which I kind of think it is) or whether it is an Augsburg piece? Does anybody also recognize the maker? Apart from the relatively big marks, both pieces of the cup are also marked with a small mark, looking like a figures head looking to the right. Does anybody recognize this mark? Thanks in advance,
Kasper

Cannot help much with the marks but it is NOT Augsburg silver;it is enough to look closely at the craftsmanship.Silver made in Augsburg was of extraordinary quality and easily recognized without looking at the marks.

The small oval mark is a French import mark that was introduced as from 1838.

Hi, a very popular type of German wedding cup, made by several Hanau makers. Most likely from the 20th century. Best wishes, Bahner
