Wow, that's very interesting, thank you very much Joerg! I didn't know about the Büttenmann figures! I saw many good quality silver in Hanau but this one looks exceptionally good, it's why I leave a margin that it's Hanau. Do you know anything about Baroque silver from Strasburg? maybe they used 13 ...

This mug / flask is described in one of the galleries as made in Hanau It weights over 1200 grams https://grabekwlublinie.artsaas.pl/crm/saas/grabekwlublinie/images/b76af611-6a28-db1f-d8df-51deeedca321/a7b49509-24a6-be28-e380-65b6aded2c5f/original.jpg https://grabekwlublinie.artsaas.pl/crm/saas/grab...

I found one more mark on this tureen, it's even more confusing to me but maybe it will help:

Dear Qrt.S thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I agree that I need to widen my search beyond Lithuania. Jϋrgen Specht lived in XVII Century and apparently this mark is on an item from XVIII century... You may be right though that Baltica is the region I should look closer at. Once again man...

Hello, can anyone identify this mark? On auctioneers website it is identified as 'presumably Vilnius, Thadeus Skendzierski, 1758 - 1788' but I never come across his mark consisting of intertingled letters. It's always separate TS. I would much appreciate your opinion. https://www.lempertz.com/lemper...

Dear AG2012
thank you very much, you are absolutely right! Thank you!

best regards!

Does anyone have any idea what mark is it? Is it just Hanau? I would appreciate your help. https://grabekwlublinie.artsaas.pl/crm/saas/grabekwlublinie/images/b76af611-6a28-db1f-d8df-51deeedca321/90608bee-97d9-cc6a-39fb-6346782fb413/original.jpg https://grabekwlublinie.artsaas.pl/crm/saas/grabekwlubl...

These marks are only on the bottom of the base, there are no marks on the lid

Dear Qrt.S,
Thank you very much for taking an effert to check it up in your library.
I also feel it could be Lithuania from that time but it would be great to be sure about it :)
All the best,
Lukasz

apparently there is a literature but I didn't have a chance to get it in my hands:

Silberschätze aus Südamerika, Munich 1981, no. 57 ff.

Just to let you know that I had it attributed to Alto Peru.

Hello, I have a problem in identyfying a silvermark on a late 18th century sugar bowl: https://grabekwlublinie.artsaas.pl/crm/saas/grabekwlublinie/images/a382311c-82bb-8c53-e7f0-5bf6a8c446a5/d4ba45bb-d862-9a22-b20e-5c5d6aff9836/original.jpg It bears a 12 loth mark and 'UBK' mark in cyryllic: https:/...

Is this mark familiar to anyone? My gut feeling tells me that it comes from Italy or Spain or even the New World but I may be wrong. It is much bigger than holly water fountains from Germany, it measures 32.00 x 19.80 x 5.80 cm and weights 361 gramms. I will be very grateful for help. https://grabek...

Dear Blackstone,
Thank you so much! I knew my intuitions are not precise and now I know why - I never saw a piece of a Swiss silver mark before :)

Once again many thanks!

Best regards,

Dear Forum Users, I have a problem with identification of these marks. I bought it without seeing the marks as an 'English tea pot' but it seems to me that the lion's head doesn't make it made in London. I can not work out the mark on the left. Letters R and F under crown make me think of the Nether...
