Hello Please check https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62455 The final image posted by Peter includes the marks for 90/900, 80/800 and 60/600 purity. There is no 700 I don't know much about the degrees of fineness in Egyptian silver but, is it possible that there has been some confusion a...

Hello The number is 600 and the stamp appears Egyptian although stamps on Egyptian silver normally comes in sets of three - fineness, city and year According to https://www.silvercollection.it/EGYPTSILVERHALLMARKS.html "Originally the silver fineness was indicated in hundredths (two digits: 60,...

Hello Vantlicht The label reads کارخانه جواهر - Jewelry Factory نقره - silver وطلاسازی فدوی - and Goldsmith Fadavi (Fadavi is a Persian name) اصفهان - Isfahan At the bottom it reads مثقال -- shekel which is a very old (ancient) Persian unit of volume. It must have survived in the jewelry trade and i...

Sorry but can't offer an opinion on that.

Defintely a language written in Arabic or related script (Persian or Urdu) The image by the "word" stainless is highly stylized but some letters are clear The image by what looks like an owl is upside down. If you invert it the initial letters are clear - المکا مۓ - although not sure about...

Hello This is Moroccan from Fes فاس which can be seen in the lower part of the central medallion The lower script reads معدن فضّة ممتازة and a literal translation is "excellent silver metal" but I don't know what that means in terms of silver content The upper script is دار (dar) or "...

Hello Alex I believe that the images on your bowl are inspired by the Achaemenid friezes at Persopolis. There is a fine example of this type of imagery on a Persian cigarette box held in the British Museum. Please check https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_2012-6024-1 for images and add...

Hello

Can you repost a crisper image of the text?

When I expand the image, it becomes too indistinct

Thanks

Hello Alex Interesting item. This imagery appears to be Zoroastrian (Parsi) and the box is possibly from Bombay. Please google "parsi parsee zoroastrian silver plaques" and you ought to find, on the site of a reputable London dealer, related images, more information and bibliographic refer...

Mijn misverstand

Hello Peter I agree that the stamp does not bear a close resemblance to the crisp text which you have provided The stamp on the article is more like صفها - missing the initial (on the right) letter ا which may have been worn off and with the final letter (on the left) ن positioned above the end of t...

Hello The city name is Isfahan but I can't make out the smith's mark. The Kronfol collection was split between the National Museum of Scotland and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Montreal, I have just realized that the Musée des Beaux-Arts has posted a number of images with the names of some of the silv...

Hello Ubaranda My apologies for the delay in replying. I don’t know much about the decorative elements of Armenian silverware, so your question prompted some research. At https://www.fhja.ir/article_243492.html?lang=en there is a 2021 article by Professor Akram Mohammadizadeh, Assistant Professor of...

Hello Vantlicht

This is Persian

Please see the last comment at viewtopic.php?t=27649

Hope this is of interest

Damon

Hello

An image search suggests that this is a cheese knife from a Thai flatware set.

Perhaps the stamp is stylized Thai script but this is outside my sphere.

Hope this leads somewhere

Regards

Damon

Hello

The script is Hebrew and the middle word is ישראל (Israel)

I don't know the other two words

Damon

Could this be Armenian?

Damon

Hello

Looks like عباس افضل - Abbas Afzal - which is a man's name

Damon

Hope this helps
