Mystery FJ maker's mark on arts and crafts style letter opener

Hi, If you recognise this makers monogram (FJ) I would love to hear your thoughts, thank you. As you can see it's on a remarkable letter opener, very high quality, with cloisonne enamel handle. It is marked STERLING, so I thing American and probably c 1910-20, but perhaps it is more modern. 19.5 cm ...

Re: What is the Italian star mark. See image

The star mark is on this silver askos panther handled jug. See image. For those that know me well this is a second, slightly smaller one, to the one I have by Giacinto Melillo. The maker of this Askos is unknown - I think not Melillo. I now understand the star mark which would date the piece to c 19...

Mystery makers mark?

Hi, can anyone help identify the makers mark on this Japanese silver and enamel spoon. Based on other similar spoons I have had I would expect this to be Yokohama work, c 1900. Typically these spoons are marked for Sanju Saku or Samurai Shokai. All thoughts welcome. I have shown the mark both ways u...

Help identifying art nouveau makers mark "P&Z"

Hi, I have acquired this delightful small French art nouveau box. Marked for French 800 silver (boars head). Almost certainly made c 1905. The makers mark is very hard to read but seems to me to be "P&Z". Any help identifying this greatly appreciated. Thank you Anthony https://i.postim...

Re: Mystery American arts and craft maker?

I am now pretty sure the signature is Harold F Sargison, which would make this bowl a very early piece by Sargisom who went on to estsblish the famous Yobart firm “Sargisons”. If anyone can confirm this that wouod be great. Thank you

Re: Mystery American arts and craft maker?

I think it is possible the maker / signature is Harrold F Davison? So not two surnames. All thoughts welcome.

Mystery American arts and craft maker?

Hi, does anyone recognise this maker? I think American, likely c 1910, arts and crafts. Possibly Boston School. It looks like a partnership of a name I cannot identify and Davison. Please see images.

Re: Identifying 1909 Dublin mark "I.A. Co"

Thank you all for those comments and I am sure you are right. It is 86, not 88, Grafton Street (though 88 is now Bulgari - so jewellers certainly still predominate). Would still love to know what IA stands for.
