Interesting mark on an incense vase

Post by chkptcharlie »

Can anyone help me figure out what this vase is? The mark looks
vaguely like Porter Blanchard. Does the 600 indicate 60% silver?

Is it perhaps Asian or Turkish?

A real old post that's worth a bump.

Any thoughts?

Dear Chuck and Trev,

From the floral elements on the bowl it appears to be Persian. 600/1000 does not seem impossible either but let me see what if anything I can find out about either marks.

love a challenge

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you at all with your identification here, but additional shots of the mark in different light and etc might prove useful to someone that can. Great piece.
