Hi there,

My aunt has a teapot with the following marks on its base. From the style of the teapot we think it's colonial Indian silver (although happy to be proved wrong!) Could anyone help identify the marks at all? We've had a good search online, but can't seem to turn up anything.

Not sure that image successfully embedded, but it can be found here: https://ibb.co/jG3JwYW
