I would much appreciate were someone able to provide information on the assay offices operating in the Kingdom of Bohemia frm c. 1735 to 1753.

I am engaged in some research on the career of Carl Rudolph Kändler after his departure from England in c. 1735 until his death in Schirgiswalde (Ober ...

It may possibly refer to the Order of St. Patrick founded in 1783.
Several newly appointed knights gave commissions for silver around the time of their appointments. It bears a a reference to the badge of the order.

Many thanks for that, Trevor.

I recently came across this mark for a Sheffield maker CB&S but I have had difficulty in identifying it and the period in which it was used. Any assistance would be much appreciated:

Very many thanks for both images from Bennett.
They explain much. I suppose we do not know his reasons for registering a second mark.
Given that Kinnersley was active over a long career do we have any idea of his productivity level? Contrasted with someone like Matthew West, he appears to have ...

This mark I have encountered before and have had it attributed to Kinnersley:

I recently came across this Dublin maker's mark [PK] on a piece with a date letter for 1719. A number of possible makers has been suggested. Perhaps the forum might have some suggestions as to the maker's identity.

Would anyone have an example of a mark registered in Dublin for Mary Mountgomery who assayed items in 1910 and 1912?

The crest on the spoon is that of the Colonna family, Principe Assistente al Soglio Pontificio, Patrician of Rome, Prince of Palestrina, Prince and Duke of Paliano etc. etc. etc.

The initials appear to be H C B. This may suggest the family of Burke, Marquisses of Clanrickarde.

The crest is similar to that of the Marquis of Clanricarde, Portumna, Co. Galway.

Sorry, the mark does not show the Gonfalone above the crossed keys. It shows the Tiara or papal crown.

The Gonfalone is used when the see is vacant.

Interestingly, the crest on the spoon is that of the Roman princely family of Colonna.

A branch of the family is represented in Frosinone by the Turriziani Colonna.

The mark or Bolla bearing the crossed keys of St. Peter under the Gonfalone (umbrella) is the official mark of guarantee issued by ...

Perhaps, Penrose (of Cork) ?

In Germany and central Europe they come with much shorter handles and are usually placed inside of the chalice.

Ampolla translates into English as cruet and into French as burette
