Need help identifying a British eagle and star hallmark
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:06 am
Hi everyone! This is my first post and I would like to ask for anyone's help on identifying two hallmarks on an old Royal Doulton loving cup (circa 1910) which has a silver rim and solid silver handles. I am unsure whether the silver was actually added to the item in Great Britain and not abroad because there are just two hallmarks unlike the usual four. The same two marks are indented on both handles and depict in a circle a six pointed star with a small dot in the middle and then the other has within a hexagon an eagle which I dare say seems to be wearing a crown (although it is very difficult to be absolutely certain) very similar to the national symbols of Poland and Austria. These are the links to five photographs of my cup:
