Mystery marks on Ladle

[arcticman]

I need help on identifying the marks on a ladle that I bought in England.
have tried various websites with no luck.
Any help or input would be appreciated.
As I'm not a techno-phobe, hopefully you can see the marks clearly as I had to use
thumbnails to get the system to accept the images.
Thanks

Hi Articman,

Welcome to the Forum.

It would be good to see some full size images of the marks. Please give it another try.

How about this?
Thanks

Hi Arcticman,

Thanks for posting the image.

To my knowledge the mark has yet to be identified. We've seen it in different formats, with both the initials 'T.H' and 'IB'.







The likely conclusion is that 'TH' took over 'IB''s concern, or vice versa. All of the pieces noted with these marks were of very good quality.

Hopefully this topic with promote more thoughts.

Thanks, the flower-like mark has horizontal lines on it so presumably is meant to be more than a flower.
Hopefully someone picks up on the marks.

Hello I just came across this post while researching for another post relating to the early Birmingham electroplater "Thomas Harwood". The flower marks are intriguing particularly the one associated with Dognose’s smaller photo of the “IB” mark. I don’t know what type of item that mark came from but “good quality” is mentioned.
I know this is radical thinking but what would be the possible options if that particular flower was in fact a thistle?
Both the provincial Scottish silver centers of Aberdeen and Inverness seem to have possible candidates as the maker.
Have the flower marks on the silver plate been used for imitation of the standard silver mark?

Yours
