Austrian tea tray marked 1797

Post by emaliek »

This is a tea tray measuring 21 1/2" by 16 1/2". I am not sure if the 1797 is a date or just a hallmark, if Austrian? Is the silver content 800? It was sold as Austrian but I am not very familiar with the early marks so I am guessing.

Hello!
I don't think, it's from central european.
Most likely Spanish, or Portuguese.
Best regards!

Estimado emaliek,

Se trata de una pieza española exactamente de la ciudad de Cádiz. A esta ciudad se la representa con la figura de Hércules entre dos leones. El platero a de ser A. Díaz (si con Z en la actualidad) del que desconozco su trayectoria y la otra marca esta muy confusa, podría ser ARE/NAS pero no estoy seguro.

FORGIVE THE LANGUAGE

Dear emaliek,

It is a Spanish piece exactly from the city of Cádiz. This city is represented by the figure of Hercules between two lions. The silversmith is going to be A. Díaz (if with Z at present) of which I do not know his trajectory and the other brand is very confused, it could be ARE / NAS but I'm not sure.
