I wanted to add that Beuque lists the makers mark as #477 "E.T., Courounnées, Trois Cailloux, Poincoin employé, en 1768-1774, par un maitre-orfèvre d'Orléans (Loiret)". So they say it's three pebbles and not an open lilly, but who knows :)

Hi Qrt.S,
there is no answer to the maker in the other post. The only name mentioned is probably not correct as not located in Moscow but in Tver. Or did I miss anything in between all the off-topic discussion in the other thread?

Thanks Ubaranda for the information.

Hi, the following is a crestening cutlery (fork, spoon) from Tallin from 1829 or earlier. This was given to my great-great-great-grandmother to her baptism.

Just wanted to update that I found all three missing marks on the lid as well. They were hard to spot due to not being on a flat surface but on the back of the rosettes.

Thanks JayT, really helpful information. As for your questions: - Yes, it is the charge mark for 1789, it is better photographable on the stand though: https://i.imgur.com/zh2aSPx.jpg - The discharge mark is located at the top edge of the tureen, the edge of the lid as well as the lower edge of the ...

Hi JayT,

thanks for that information and checking. I would be interested if the entry says what the symbol between his initals resembles. My guess would have been a bee nest but thats probably wrong. And if Nocq mentiones that he is indeed the son of JBF Cheret.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi, I've recently aquired this lovely late 18th hundred century tureen. The Presentoir was made by Nicolas Fauconnier, 1787, Paris.
