I agree. Even that in my mind the marks seems quite well done the craftsmanship of the item itself is more mediocre. The work on the enamel and the sharpness of the details like letters seems very plain and thereby not high quality. Fabergés trademark was their exquisite work on the item itself and ...

Thanks and excellent knowledge! The town mark stumbled me for it to be Norwegian.

It looks very much silver and it is from the 18th century. It has the engraving PC/MC with the year 1786 (should have showed this also).

Hi!

I was wondering if this would be a Danish cake server? Or is it from some other country? Attached marks on the stem, no other marks.

Thanks very much for the info! I am sure you have it correct.

Hi!

Can't attribute this one to from were it is from. Perhaps English or German? Any knowledge welcome!

The first mark is in the bottom and the second mark on the lids rim.

I just want to ensure the information is correct on previous unresolved discussions in the forum. To add the tray I showed has crisp and correct markings, thereby without any doubt of authenticity.

Same subject also discussed in this long thread, where the medal mark is taken up on this page ...

Hi!

There has been earlier questioning that items bearing the Sazikov medal mark would not be genuine ones. I have found a tray bearing this mark with all the expected other marks which to my mind shows clearly the medal mark is a genuine mark. The firm Sazikov used this mark after they had won the ...

It is a Russian princely crown and the initials seem to be 'MM'. The list of Russian princely families can be found in this list:

Very thankful for your knowledge! I expected this so I will leave the acquisition. Not my item so I showed only the marks.

Thank you very much! Couldn't find him in PL or Ivanov. Interesting that he uses for his initials two letters from his last name which is uncommon.

Hi!

The following marks are on a cup with a Spanish Carolus III 8 reales coin from 1763 on the bottom. Spanish (?) marks unknown for me. Any knowledge is welcome.

Hi!

Can't find the maker of this coffee pot.

Thanks for the clarification! Then the marks in many of the silver mark catalogs are just examples of the silver contents in 18th century.

Hi!

I am a little confused with this marking. The silver content is marked to be '75' and according to silver mark catalogs the contents in the 18th century were 72, 74, 76, 82 and then from end of 18th century 84. Is this a new content?

Otherwise the beaker seems correct. The style of the beaker ...

Thanks for your comments!

Yes, its is an ink well. I just found now a couple similar ones of the same motive with your reference. Interesting to hear about the explanation of the rats and as you state it to be a judica object it is then clear with the Russian state embelem and St. Georg motives not ...

Hi!

This is an interesting object as its marking has an interesting combination. There would be the Sazikov makers mark and the Andrej Kowalskij assayers mark. What about the double headed eagle mark? Or is it just not genuine?

I am wondering also on the right to use the imperial double headed ...

@Mart: Thank you for the additional information. It is interesting these numerous cases (also in the list of silversmith mark catalogs) of silversmiths mentioned only for one particular year.

Yes I notified him, also there was Georg Schwan. They both are mentioned in 1852 so I guess the question is if they were active in 1844?

How I understand this is that there are known objects made by them in 1852 and it is quite clear more or less that every silversmith worked for a longer time ...

Hi!

This sugar bowls silversmith makers mark also unknown for me. The assayer is Andrei Kovalskij.
