Swiss Expertise Needed: Anyone recognize these hallmarks?

Postby Silverandgold » Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:21 pm

This is a large and heavy liquor caddy featuring holder for 3 bottles and 12 shot glasses. The base measures 12" x 12". I am pretty confident it is Swiss, but perhaps from elsewhere in Europe, maybe French? Thanks in advance for any information/assistance!

Thank you for the information Theoderich. I thought it was a Swiss piece because of the bear. Was he a master silversmith? Can you date the hallmarks to a specific year?
