Silversmith: Rabie, made in Isfahan and marked 84 silver

Rebecca,
It reads "alkhaledi abdulmalik" as the maker. The second line reads pure silver but there is no mention of the purity or any number to i indicate that. I am not familiar with work of Morocco but I'd expect a numbered hallmarked. Why dont you have it tested though?

Oel, the person I spoke with,unfortunately, could not tell who would be the one that signed " Parvaresh" as there are number of other silversmiths from that family. However, since I got some pieces that are signed by "Parvaresh" only, I'd like to investigate more. I am going to try to get hold of ...

I never heard of a silversmith named Ferdows ( and unlikely to find anyone with that name ) That is why I kinda believe that it should refer to the name of the retailer. However, Ferdowsi is known asa highly revered Persian poet and the author of the epic of Shahnameh - the Persian "Book of Kings ...

it is written "silver" not sure about what it refers to the word after 1. I also think I am reading Masri on top which if correct, means from Egypt!

Sorry, no! The only way is to obtain some information about the specific silversmith and make a guess! Unfortunately, most of the Persian silvers are sold by retailers and there is a little or no information about the makers!

Written Silver from Morocco

Work of Mohammad Hossein. Jahromi and indeed from Persia!

This bucket is hallmarked by Bagher Parvaresh and probably personalized for or dedicated to Mehdizadeh

Interestingly, the first word from the left reads" parvaresh" then 84 and after that " Qazadian" and finally " Vartan"
I have seen few pieces with "Vartan" mark that also has the Parvaresh ( famous Isfahani Silversmith" name. While there is a Persian-Armenian silversmith from North West of Iran ...

Persian Silver-made in Isfahan by Rasoul

Pirayaie Brothers, 84. i am sure about the word brothers as for the last name I kinda read it as Piryayie and number 84 which stands for 875 silver

My pleasure! It is مظفریان, next to 84.

I might be able to ask but takes few days. Will post back when I get to obtain an info,

Thank you for suggesting a script.
Alas, no marks.

I can tell that this not a Persian script but maybe Urdu?

The first word is illegible the second word is not Zadavi but it is Ferdowsi which makes me think that is the name of the seller rather than the silversmith himself. My guess is the first word is the name of the silver smith!

Work of Bagher Parvaresh from isfahan, Iran! He lived between 1910-1977. The best of silversmith of his time

This pattern is what is called " Persopolis" or in persian "Jamsheedi" carving
The Hallmarked is under the name Mozafarian who is Not the silversmith but a reputable gold and silver seller. Unfortunately, the silversmith's name is not illegible

Oops, sorry, meant to write IS illegible

Thanks for input. It is quite interesting, the men in central image are mostly huddled around one man who is lying on bed or cot. One is fanning him, one appears to be holding bowl of water, another is appears to be doing something to him with his hands. Next to him is a small table with bowls and ...
