Continental style Tea Set - help - seated boar and urn mark

[Decobill]

Hi. Could someone please help me identify this mark found on all pieces of a Continental style Tea Set. There is a seated boar and an urn mark on all pieces. The decoration looks classical French, but marks look similar to ones from Portugal to me. Thanks, Bill

Great photos! The boar is definitely Porto, Portugal, 1887-1937, the second silver standard of .833. The urn is definitely a maker's mark, but unfortunately it's just a little too worn for me to identify. It should have a letter somewhere on it, but I can't make it out despite your great picture. (I find post-1887 Portuguese maker's marks the most difficult to identify; they're usually quite small and even the slightest wear tends to leave them totally illegible.) Given that, I think it might be José Anastácio Pereira de Abreu of Porto, who registered his mark in 1887. Like I say, I just can't be sure. Can you make out a letter on any of the other urn marks?

Thank you very much for your help. I will try to add a better scan of the second mark soon, and a picture of one of the peices. Bill

Thanks again for your help. I could not get a better picture of the Ewer or Urn mark, but here is a picture of the set. Bill
