I need help identifying the maker and if this may be silver or plated. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the Forum,

The marks show your beaker to be solid silver and made in Nuernberg (Nuremberg). I'm no expert in this area, however we have members who are, and will be able to date it more accurately than I, and may possibly be able to identify the maker.

If my comparisons of your Nuremberg letter N to those on the website owned by one our members is correct,

(http://silberpunze.freehost.ag/index.php?sw=Nuernberg),

then I think it's probably late 18th C...and definitely no later than 1820. So wait and see what the others have to say.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
This is the mark of Jeremias Ritter, master 1605 or 1606, died 1646.
Schlangenhautbecher in German (snake skin beaker)

in the book of GNM it is the no 730
Christoph Ritter III (1630-1676) * 16.3.1610

Jeremias Ritter (no 731) have a similar makersmark but not the same

If you make a better image of the marks, I can better see the hallmark

probably You are right, I think the hallmark is from 1609-1629
