Hello -- I am a complete neophyte, so please excuse my ignorance here. ;-) This dish belonged to my grandmother, who claimed that it was a finer piece than most of her other silver (she collected quite a lot). Unfortunately the marks are so worn that I have not been able to figure out even which country the piece is from. I was guessing perhaps France, because of the lozenge mark. Honestly, I can't even figure out which direction the marks read (that is, whether I have the piece right side up). I've looked through this website but I haven't been able to ID the marks yet. Any advice on how to start (which country?) would be so appreciated.
I apologize for the photos -- I've tried multiple cameras, but I'm having trouble showing any relief on the marks -- they are just so shallow. My best guess is that one of them (the first) is torch-shaped; the lozenge shaped 2nd I can't make out at all; the third looks very much like an open hand; and the fourth like either a flower or the profile of a person.
