Hi I am assuming this is either a spirit burner or possibly a table cigarette lighter. It is fully hallmarked to the base for London 1776 with the makers mark of Charles Aldridge & Henry Green with matching partial marks to the removable circular lid. I have never seen this type of item with 5 h...

I posted a topic back in 2019 with the same mark see: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54065

Due to its shape (Celtic Point) I was leaning towards Scottish provincial, but unfortunately I have got no further with identification.

Hi

I am thinking the H maybe the surname, possibly George Heath or George Howson, however the other letter is badly worn.

Martin

Sorry for the late reply Aguest. I have now had the bowl tested as 925 minimum silver, as for it being a Tibetan Singing Bowl, I am afraid I haven't got a clue, but it could be.

Hi Damon

Cheers for your help, I will keep looking and update if anything more comes to light.

Hi Damon

Thanks for your reply, please see the images below

Hi I have put this topic in this section, as the decorative script on this very heavy (for its size) cast bowl looks to be Farsi, Persian or similar, however I stand to be corrected. There are no makers marks or stamps, the only script being what is forming the decoration itself. Can anybody help me...

Yes, although I have seen British silver with makers marks only, I feel this is probably continental.

Interestingly it is being listed at an auction house as being the mark of Paul de Lamerie, wishful thinking indeed.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi

I was wondering if the marks on the base of this tureen are recognisable to anyone. There appears to be a PL stamp twice along with another.

Many Thanks
Martin

Hi

Does anybody recognise this mark on an Indian bowl?

Many Thanks
Martin

Also the term Stirling is sometimes found on Irish provincial pieces, would you say the third letter is an I ?

I think it may be Irish, is there any evidence of a maker's mark anywhere?

Martin

Great Trev, thank you so much.

Martin

Hi

Can anyone help me identify the origins of this seal top spoon, it has the characteristics of an English provincial piece, but I haven't been able to find any reference to the marks.

Many Thanks
Martin

Brilliant, thanks to everyone for your help.

Martin

Ok, I have managed to get a better image of the mark (thanks Amena).

Still not sure what it is, a wine glass, pine cone? any thoughts?

Martin

Thanks Amena, I will give it a try.

Regards
Martin

Thanks to you all for your help. AG2012, I have had a good look with a loupe, I cant make out what it is but it does not look like a letter.

Martin

Thank you both very much for the information. So these were made in Paris and subsequently imported to Rome and marked there?
