Silver Cream Jug

Postby sawyer » Thu Jun 19, 2008 10:39 pm

Can you please identify the chain of marks separate from the hallmark chain. I cannot find anything on them only the normal hallmark chains of date, import etc.

Hi Sawyer,

Welcome to the Forum.

I believe these are the Hanau marks of Karl Kurz Silberwarenfabrik of Kesselstadt.
The jug was imported into the UK by Samuel Boaz Landeck, in this case via the Chester Assay Office in the first couple of years of the 20th Century. The date the jug was made was proberly not too much earlier.

Trev.
