Unknown, possibly Spanish Colonial Hallmarks

Post by Chris1954 »

I have a large bwol, Possibly Spanish colonial silver, with 7 coins set into the base.
The bowl is large, 24cm in diameter and has hammered sides and a beautufil had decorated base.

I have uploaded images of the top, bottom and the hallmarks

I cannot identify the hallmarks. Can anyone help

Thank you.

It won’t help that marks images are gone, but a Vera in Cordoba is mentioned here: viewtopic.php?p=151574&hilit=vera#p151574

The most recent coin date you show is 1874. So production must be after that time. The standard of 11D or 916 seems to be pointing to the era of c.1881 to c.1934, but could go later.

Hello, The only two official brands are 916 and VERA.
Francisco Vera founded his silversmithing workshop in 1953. In 1977, he opened a shop on Castelló Street in Madrid, and in 1980, he moved to 91 General Díaz Porlier Street. Among his activities, his reproductions stand out, such as the spouted jug (CE26114) from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid.

Hola, Las dos unicas marcas oiciales, son 916 y VERA.
Francisco Vera funda en 1953 su taller de platería,. En 1977 inaugura tienda en la madrileña calle de Castelló y en 1980 se traslada a la calle General Díaz Porlier, 91. Entre sus actividades, destacan sus reproducciones, como el jarro de pico, (CE26114), del Museo de Artes Decorativas de Madrid
