Hey everyone,

I have this flask for which I can't find the proper maker. I can see teh letter R on teh left and CO on the right but can't identify the middle mark.
Anyone got a suggestion?

Hi,
I have this interesting silver sugar shaker with rocailles and shell ornaments. It's 18,5cm high. I can't identify the hallmarks taht are on the bottom of the shaker. What I see is a coat of arms with a women looking to the right, with the letters B and K on the left and the right.
The lid doesn ...

I wanted to add that Beuque lists the makers mark as #477 "E.T., Courounnées, Trois Cailloux, Poincoin employé, en 1768-1774, par un maitre-orfèvre d'Orléans (Loiret)". So they say it's three pebbles and not an open lilly, but who knows :)

Hi Qrt.S,
there is no answer to the maker in the other post. The only name mentioned is probably not correct as not located in Moscow but in Tver. Or did I miss anything in between all the off-topic discussion in the other thread?

Thanks Ubaranda for the information.

Hi,

the following is a crestening cutlery (fork, spoon) from Tallin from 1829 or earlier. This was given to my great-great-great-grandmother to her baptism. Is someone able to narrow down age and identify the makers mark (GD/CD?) that would be really appreciated.

Just wanted to update that I found all three missing marks on the lid as well. They were hard to spot due to not being on a flat surface but on the back of the rosettes.

Thanks JayT, really helpful information.
As for your questions:

- Yes, it is the charge mark for 1789, it is better photographable on the stand though: https://i.imgur.com/zh2aSPx.jpg

- The discharge mark is located at the top edge of the tureen, the edge of the lid as well as the lower edge of ...

Hi JayT,

thanks for that information and checking. I would be interested if the entry says what the symbol between his initals resembles. My guess would have been a bee nest but thats probably wrong. And if Nocq mentiones that he is indeed the son of JBF Cheret.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi,

Just wanted to add that the makers mark is supposed to be the mark of Jacques Bernier, Paris, 1781 to at least 1793. Fleur de lys Couronnée, Ancre (crowned Fleur de lys, anchor).
