Could this be French

Postby blonde_minx » Tue May 19, 2015 7:19 am

Hi I have this lovely little cup with beautiful floral decoration, the marks to the base i havent seen before, i have tested the cup and it is silver, the marks look like a boars head with ii underneath and a fancy letter J next to it, if anyone could shed any light on its origin and date i would be grateful
Thanks Mandy

Hi Mandy,

I believe it could be; Portugal city of Porto, the boar head domestic silver hallmark used 1887-1937, 2nd standard 833/1000 fineness.
