Re: Candlesticks - maker Cruz, possibly Darmstadt?

Dear Ovo and Joho

Thank you so much for your help. Ovo is there any chance you could load a copy of the page in the book where you found the marks? It would be much appreciated.

Regards

Wolf and Knell candlesticks?

Hello I found an almost identical set of marks for the candlestick below (one of a pair) deep in the unattributed section in the page on Hanau pseudo marks. It has been labelled as 'possible Wolf & Knell'. Did Wolf & Knell do this sort of work and has any more been found out about this mark?...

Candlesticks - maker Cruz, possibly Darmstadt?

Hi all I would really appreciate some help with the candlestick below (one of a pair). The lion looks to me like the Darmstadt mark but could perhaps be Brunswick. As for the maker I have been unable to find anything. Any thoughts will be much appreciated! http://rs1282.pbsrc.com/albums/a537/EmmaW16...

Re: Chinese cigarette box, maker CLK

Dear David and Trev

Thanks so much for your help. And David thanks for the explanation on the meaning of the inscription - doesn't look like such a bad place for a soul (real or otherwise) to end up.

Best wishes

Assay master AP

Hi there Please could someone help with identifying the maker and assay master of this cigarette case. I apologise for the poor image quality. The maker's mark is GK (Gustav Klingert??) and the assay mark is A.P 1887. Any help will be greatly appreciated. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a537/Emm...

Please will someone help with identifying the maker of this candlestick (one of a pair). It's HS with the Vienna .800 mark.

French 18th century gold-mounted glass box

Please could someone help with the marks on the box below. There are two sets of marks, one to the outer rim and the other to the inner. I've been wading around the minefield of French hallmarks and think I'm looking at Paris in the late 18th century (the hand to the far right) and the leaf (dischar...

Thanks Trev, that's really interesting, I think you're on to something. It would definitely make sense if it was him.

Danish teapot

Please could someone give some insight into the marks below. I've found only one reference online to a Frederik Vilhelm Albertus Gundorph, Assens, trade licence 1866. Is the mark to the left the Assens mark? And does anyone know what the mark to the right (13 1/4 L) means? http://i1282.photobucket.c...

Danish candlestick

Please could anyone help with identifying the marks on the piece below... I must confess that I am just guessing that it is Scandinavian. I take the K as the maker's mark but have not been able to find it, the middle mark would be for Sterling 925, and I think the last must be a date mark. I am in t...

Indian colonial salt and pepper pots?

I'd be very grateful for some help identifying the maker's mark on the salt and pepper pots below. Stylistically they would seem to be Indian colonial but I can find no mention of the maker. Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated as always Emma http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a537/EmmaW161...

Re: Swedish bowl

Brilliant, thank you both so much. Just a point of clarification... in Tardy it says that this mark was in use in the 18th century. Do I presume that some makers like Barkman continued to use it into the 19th?

Swedish bowl

Hi everyone. I'd really appreciate some help with the bowl and dish below. I've been able to get that the marks are for Sweden 1844 but am stuck on the town and maker. Any help will be greatly valued. Thank you Emma http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a537/EmmaW1611/9aebbb86-5e0b-42f0-8172-d1a282546...

Dutch miniature maker JV

Hi everyone I'd appreciate some help with the identification of the Dutch miniature maker with the mark JV over a hammer. I've found a few other pieces online by the same maker but nothing linking a name to the the mark. The same mark appears on all five pieces in the first image. http://i1282.photo...
