Oriental stand

Hello everyone I return to a topic from a few years ago whose images are deleted. https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=149588&hilit=cake+stand#p149588 https://i.postimg.cc/4y7tPSKN/oriental.jpg Then, it was said that one of the two marks, I don't know which, meant pure silver. In reali...

Re: Silver Cutlery Mark - Can't Find

I wonder if there is a way to narrow down the age.
This is beyond my knowledge.
Let's wait for the opinion of those who know more

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.

I don't seem to see any particular similarities with the hallmarks of the Kingdom of Naples at the end of the 17th century. The outline of the mark is never oval, but follows the shape of the crown at the top, and then forms a sort of shield containing the letters NA or NAP and the date numbers. htt...

Re: Italian Gold registration number

I found the information in one of the 5 books that are part of the "punzoni dei preziosi italiani" series. These are very difficult books to find, and frankly I would not recommend purchasing them. https://i.postimg.cc/C1ngKrjW/LIBRO2.jpg They were given to me by a dealer who participated ...

Re: Italian Gold registration number

The 585 marks within the truncated lozenge and star/number/city code are certainly Italian, but the third mark does not appear to be. It is probable that an artefact coming from abroad was put on the market after having been marked with the (Italian) law hallmarks. If the number is 896 VI, then it b...

Re: A monstrance

Thanks everyone for the contribution. However, they are difficult roads to travel, I found very little information on the internet about Mexican, Brazilian or Israeli stampings. Especially from the 19th century, as the style would suggest. I haven't seen the item in person, and the photos aren't the...

A monstrance

Hi everyone I was asked to identify some sacred vessels, including this monstrance. https://i.postimg.cc/ZKPZF13W/ostensorio2.jpg On the three flat parts of the foot there are some marks that I have never seen before and which frankly don't even seem like hallmarks to me. https://i.postimg.cc/7ZY6Cx...

Re: Italian Candlestick from Bologna 18th century - or not?

Definitely not Bologna.
The lion depicted on the Tardy is slavishly copied by Rosenberg, and it is incorrect.
There are 8 different lions of Bologna, seven facing right and one facing left.
Everyone carries a pennant.

Maltese holy water bucket

Hi all yesterday I found this beautiful (for me) bucket for holy water. The hallmarking, present only on the handle, is Maltese and identifies Saverio Cannataci as the author. Alongside the Alexander Ball and Cannataci marks, there is another, tiny one, which I cannot understand. Can anyone give me ...

Re: Religious relief showing Saint Jerome

Hi Jonathan The lion of San Marcp above various initials is a mark often found in Venetian silver from the 18th century (also late 17th and early 19th). They are considered to be the marks of assayers or mint officials. Several have been detected with the letters FP, with or without dots, but I don'...

Re: 1500-1700 Hamburg or pseudo mark?

The color looks a bit pewter to me, but it definitely resembles the 17th century Hamburg marks. I appreciate any help.
It looks like pewter to me too, most likely.
There are many ways to distinguish silver from pewter.
Try one.

Hi Tomasz I'm glad you were interested in my article. I, and others too maybe, would be interested to know if you have found out whether your statue is solid silver or silverplate. Furthermore,if you don't mind, it would be a great gift for me if you posted a well-focused photograph of the pseudomar...
