Holy fountain

Thanks Theoderich.

I only knew the first one, not the second with the Lion more stylized.

Looking at my mark and this second one from Vietor i have to say that is very similar, the four legs are nearly identical...

Many thanks again.

Holy fountain is maybe a product of »Gebrüder Deyhle

Hello again silverport, thanks for your fast answer.

Gebrüder Deyhle was other of my choices, even Vietor in Darmstadt, as the few i can see is a prancing animal with the head and the tail missing...

I though on Gebrüder Kühn because the stylized legs as they are apperaring in the 3rd mark here ...

Silver holy water font, Gebrüder Kühn?

Hello.

We have this Silver holy water font with a Hutschenreuther porcelain plaque.

The silver mark doesn't appear to be complete and we are not sure about the maker.

Could be Gebrüder Kühn?

Ah...i din't know that the years were going from May to May...

So, this is precision with dating!!!

About the german conection, this is something we were thinking due to the style, but could have been also French or Belgian, now we are nealy sure that is german.

Many thanks again.

Only one doubt, in the London dates letters list "g" is appearing as 1902 and you say is 1903. http://www.925-1000.com/dlLondon.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So, is it English or is it French?

My thoughts are that technically it is English, although its origins are, of course, French.

My reasoning is that if this item had been imported into the UK, at around this date, then it would have subject to having been struck with the appropriate import marks ...

Good morning.

Thanks for the contribution.

Well, so for the moment i've got the impresion that this object has been done in Birmingham, patented there, and may be exported to France with a "Brevete" mark as registered model in france too?
