Re: No idea about this pair, any help appreciated
Chinese metal seals ' Made in Qing Dynasty', however don't appear to be that old, and it is not common for seals to bear that kind of mark. Guess just art objects made in recent decades.

Re: 20th century Italian silver
Thanks for all the tips and advices! Really appreciated! That little dent does seem to be a mark but I need to examine under microscope it's really hard to see anything. The shell is made of real shell not silver. I will spend more time inspect the details and report back with my finding.

Re: *~*~ New Post CHOPSTICKS unknown mark ~*~*
These are Chinese based on the writing. The mark is really faded and I can only recognize 'Wan Bao' means ten thousands of treasures in Chinese, very typical silver maker's name in the late 19th century.

Re: Spoon and chopstick set not sure what these markings are.
These are chinese writing. I can recognize 'Shou' and 'Fu' which means longevity and fortune in Chinese. Can't tell the maker, it was not known to me.

Re: Asian silver napkin ring
Hi, it's Chinese writing, 'Zu Wen' and 'Xie Xing', 'Zu Wen' indicates the silver assay is pure silver or something alike, 'Xie Xing' is the maker, it may be a maker from China HuBei province in the late 19th century
