French silver or French colony?

Postby stecci » Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:23 am

I found this goblet yesterday. The quality is modest. But I can not assign the marks. Can someone help me (master, origin).

Neither. This is Brazilian, made by Francisco Pereira da Fonseca of Rio de Janeiro, working at least 1864 to 1887. The "10" is the fineness of 10 dinheiros, 10/12 or .833.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks for the help.
I really have never seen such work. In Switzerland, works from South America are relatively rare.
Thanks again
