gift and no idea where it is from

Post by shereemarion »

I have received this little vase as a gift. I have no idea where or when it is from. Hoping someone could help. The mark on the left looks like a sheild with either an r or an n in it. The center mark looks like maybe a little N and a little s outside of the square with an R in it. The mark on the right looks like a sideways pineapple or grapes. HELP??

Hello, this is comparatively new stuff from Germany. The ''n'' in a shield on the left hand side is the mark of Neresheimer from Hanau/Germany. They had specialised in imitating old silver objects. The mark on the right hand side imitates old Augsburg marks. The date of this piece is probably the first half of the 20th century. Best wishes, Bahner
