Hi,

I'm trying to identify this hallmark

Mark is very small in the handle of a teapot. Silversmith's mark seems to be "R.H".

Thanks and kind regards.

The lower mark appears to be a partial English hallmark with R·H sponsor's mark, Victorian duty mark and lion passant. Without a date mark it is impossible to certain but it may well be a London mark with R·H being Robert Hennell III (the III just signifies that he is the third known Robert Hennell in chronological order).
