Sterling basket?

Postby solaresruben » Thu Jan 26, 2017 12:36 pm

I have this basket that unfortunately, has lost printed information due to usage. It is quite difficult to understand what is written. Maybe it is:
925 S
DENMARK

Even more diffuse are other impressions, maybe hallmarks and something else.

I have researched a lot but I can not find anything similar on the internet, the only thing I find similar is if I write in google "denmark silver cup"
Could be sterling silver?

Hi,
I`m afraid images of the marks are too small and shown from inside.Try to take better close up images of marks from another aspect, i.e. from outside (marks are rarely struck inside holloware). Or at least tell us what you saw under magnification.

the profile is similar to the Margrethe bæger. But Margrete bæger has no handle.

Very faintly and remotely reminded me of A. Michelsen, but the quality of the basket shown here is very inferior when compared to A. Michelsen,.

many Danish silversmith have the Margrethe bæger in their product list. Its very common.
