Dresden Beaker Cup Goblet

Post by MGArgent »

Hi All,

Hoping for some help with what I believe is a small Dresden silver beaker.

The maker appears to be "FH" but "FK", "EH", or "EK" might be possibilities. I wasn't able to find a great match for a maker in Der Goldschmiede Merkzeichen (Vol. II)

I think the date letter might be an "a", but this would leave a few options if the date letter is repeated.

The beaker also seems to have a Dutch crowned "V" tax mark.

The last image is of some marks on a Candlestick which appears to have the same date letter and shows it more clearly.

Candlestick with same date letter?

Hi, I believe the maker's mark to be CFH for Christian Friedrich Hausmann, year letter if 𝒰 for 1769.
Let us wait for Theo to confirm.

Yes, You are right Peter.
It is CFH for Christian Friedrich Hausmann
but the yearsletter could also be a "V" for 1770.

Better images of marks are useful.
