German 800 tea pot

Post by AllSeasons »

Sorry to bug the forum again, but need your expertise again on a German 800 tea pot. I could make out the crescent moon and crown, and I think an 800 mark. It also says "Hanau," which I guess makes it a Hanau piece. The other two marks I could not find any info on, after searching through the entire list of post-1886 German marks in the database. The closest I could find are Wilhelm Weinranck and maybe Georg Rüttinger. Also, is the arrow-like mark on the far right a maker's mark or just an assay's mark?

The images are below. Thank you in advance!

Hello, looks indeed like the mark of Weinranck / Weinranck and Schmidt. The mark on the right hand side is the old Hanau city mark which was punched by some makers for traditional reasons only, as it no longer has any legal implications. Regards, Bahner
