German 800 silver tea set (3 pieces)

Post by AllSeasons »

3-piece German 800 silver tea set, including tea pot, coffee pot, and cream, I believe. Seller said he previously sold off another piece, likely the sugar, so it's incomplete, unfortunately. I can make out the following marks:
  • Crescent moon and crown that's on every piece
  • 800 over 1000 that's on every piece (inside the rectangular stamp)
  • A triangular mark of some sort, but I can't quite make out what's inside it, and I can't found it anywhere in the site database. I assume this is the maker's mark. This is the one that I really need help on.
  • The two teapots have an extra hexagonal mark with an "A" inscribed inside it. I'm not sure what that means.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Images are below. I've attached an image of the marks on each of the 3 pieces.

Hi,

Perhaps your photohost is down at the moment, but, for me, your images are not showing.

I uploaded them to a different site. Please let me know if it's working or not. Thanks.

Great, thanks! I think I see a star in the corner in two of the triangular marks, but couldn't tell much more.

Anyone have any insights?

Hello, most likely marks of Wolfers from Brussels for the German market. Regards, Bahner

800 over 1000 lets me think it is Belgian and if there are 3 stars within the triangle the maker could be Wolfers Frères, Brussels.

Wow, thank you all! This is exactly what I have, a perfect match! I've never had Belgian silver before, so this is great!

Is the A inscribed inside the hexagon the import/export mark? Also, I read that the triangle mark with 3 stars was used from 1892 to 1942. Is there any way to date these pieces more accurately?

Thanks again!
