Hello, anyone that could provide any info conserning this silver teaset? I presume it is chinese, late 19th early 20th centuary. However, unable to find any hallmarks. Apearently, it is not unusual to be unmarked from this period. https://johnnil.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/n-RQczbR/i-XV3QD4B/buy h...

Hello! Ive recently stumbled upon a beautiful silver plate, however, I do not recognize the maker´s mark.
