Re: Silver beaker with unknown marks
Very nice Ottoman Egyptian silver goblet. I am going to have to disagree on the date comment. Although you are reading 1803 correctly, such cups were not made at that time (1803) even in Istanbul. In Egypt, they copied what was made in Istanbul years later. Style of the cup matters here. You would s...

Hello guys,

Help with the V.C mark
I recently got this silver box with a dragon on it. I think it is Chinese, but I couldn't find the maker's mark. Any information is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. https://www.flickr.com/photos/79866643@N06/30481524251/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/79866643@N06/305695191...

Need help with identifying maker and origin
Hi, I would like to where this bowl comes from? I believe it is Colonial Spanish. Any ideas or responses would be highly appreciate it. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1560/24218829082_52766d5247_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1597/23959221279_601601b165_b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/150...

Re: Help with the Crown mark
Peter, I used an acid test on the handle. It looks like very low grade silver. I didn't rub it much because I don't want to change the piece. Another friend of mine also said that it felt like pewter. I think you are right. It is most likely pewter made to look like silver. I will try to return this...

Help with the Crown mark
Hi, I recently purchased a twin handled silver bowl. The seller claimed that it is 17th century Turkish but I know it is not Turkish. I don't think it is that old either. It has two hallmarks at the bottom. No marks on the handles. Can anyone tell me where it is from? Thank you so much./Users/mazot/...
