Hello, Could you help me to identify the silver candlestick?
It seems to me that it is Spain, city Cadiz. Goldsmith like Cotre or Cotres or maybe Gotre?
Punc little blurred.
Thank you

What if you make a new try with the photo. Use the camera's macro function (a flower, usually a tulip) and take a new sharp close-up. If you have a tripod, use it. Then edit in your photo editing program and crop the photo to the marks only, enlarge it and insert it here. From the picture you show now it is close to impossible to say anything.

Hello Zhuk

The name of silversmith is Cortés. Famous silversmith from Cadiz City. Late nineteenth, early twentieth century. The center hallmark is the ancient emblem of the city. It is also the assayer mark, purity silver, 916 fineness.

I have had a some pieces of this silversmith.

I saw a candlestick like that in auctions. It is very stylish
