Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
The first salt cellar with the spoons had two pictures of the punch, but the second set of salt cellars was from Christies and only had that one picture.

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
Thank you guys very much, this is really great information. Very interesting that a wife was able to retain the rights to the master's punch! I just found a pair of salt cellars from the wedding service of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich (1832-1909), which have a nice resting spot for a salt cellar s...

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
I want to thank you all very much for all the help you have given! I'm truly impressed. The maker seems to be quite the predicament! Has anyone ever seen a case where a mark was used after the maker's death? I'm not sure if we will ever know the true answer, but it has been incredibly interesting yo...

Important Service for Prince William I, 1806
Hello all, I recently acquired a very interesting grouping of silver, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me learn more about it? The large spoon is marked "KOMPFF" on the back for Heinrich Wilhelm Kompff, and after doing some research I found out he was apart of making a special service ...

Antique Persian Silver Items, Hallmark ID?
Hey All, I recently acquired a bunch of Persian silver from an estate collection, and could use some help with the hallmarks. I know one mark is for the silver fineness of 84 (or 875 silver), but don't know what the maker's mark is. (admin edit - see Posting Requirements ) If anyone can help I would...

Re: HUGE Urn Pitcher & Underplate...Hanau Silver or Much Older??
Very cool! Great box, that's a piece I'd put in my collection :) Surprised that one is 925 but likely made in Hanau?

Re: HUGE Urn Pitcher & Underplate...Hanau Silver or Much Older??
Hey AG, after cleaning some dirt and grime off both pieces, I found some hallmarks I never saw before! It says "KREMOS ROMA 800." After doing some very basic research, Kremos produced silver in Italy (obviously hence the Roma mark), and I guess he was even partnered with the famous Bvlgari...

HUGE Urn Pitcher & Underplate...Hanau Silver or Much Older??
Hello all, My good friend and I were lucky enough to come across an absolutely incredible solid silver urn, or pitcher, with the matching underplate, and it has some very old silver hallmarks on the bottom, as well as on the neck of the urn. I actually found a demitasse cup and saucer that I posted ...

Perfect! Thank you so very much AG. Exactly the answers I was looking for. I'm glad I was right about the maker! They only worked with 800 silver right?

Re: Persian Silver Teapot (?) Hallmarked
AG, Thank you, that is great news! Exactly what I was hoping for. And Samovar is the term I was originally told, now I remember! Excellent. A maker would be incredibly helpful but if not that's okay. :)

Persian Silver Teapot (?) Hallmarked
Hey all! I was incredibly lucky enough to buy this beautiful set at a flea market recently, and I would love to get some other opinions. I've sold a lot of Persian silver, but I've never been able to identify or read what their hallmarks actually mean or say. The design is typical for Persian silver...
