Unknown BR and other mark on small bowl with fruit decoration

Post by mglangeveld »

Hello,

Not sure from which country this small bowl / dish came from
It`s about 9,5 cm across and 1,5cm high. At has two marks which seem not that old BR in an oval and a mark i can`t read well

I bought it really cheap again online. I thought i was buying a Djokja item or a Hanau 19th century imitation of some sort, the online pictures weren`t that good. But maybe somebody can shine a light on these silvermarks. When cleaning the dish I found brunishing marks on the flat parts on the inside, not something I`d expect on a Hanau piece. Maybe somebody recognizes one of this marks and can help me where to look for more information.

Hi,
It is Hungary mark (dog`s head and number 3 in front for 800 fineness).
The mark was used 1937 - 1966. But having in mind the situation after WWII, I suppose the bowl was made before the war, at least that makes sense.

I asked a friend.
The maker is Bókai Broncigy Rezső from Budapest.
Established the workshop in 1941, ends in 1949 (nationalized)
Best regards!
