Re: russian silver tea caddy, makers mark identification

Re: russian silver tea caddy, makers mark identification

Re: russian silver tea caddy, makers mark identification

thanks, I'm so happy we have such knowlagable and old enough experts
I sold items at Christies after "experts" like you told me they are fake, so
please let me judge it by myself.

Re: a silver candelstick, help with signature

I’ll take a picture of the other marks later
But the silver tasting was made with silver tasting acid
I’m dealing mostly with silver and I know how to test silver
So this item being silver is 100%

Re: a silver candelstick, help with signature

Thank you for the help but you are wrong, this candelstick was tasted and it’s silver, so no pewter, it is marked in a few more spots and as I know you identification as “pewter” is not correct I also doubt the early 20 century suggestion, let’s wait to see some other opinions (100% made from silver)

need help with this family crest

Hello
I know this crest is not on a silver object, its carved malachite on a russian object
It looks like a bull or a calf, standing on one star and two star on the top, and a crown atop all the crest
What do you think?

Thanks in advance
