Identification Help Please! Shefffield Plate? 8 Arrows Mark

Patti_OC · Post by **Patti_OC** » Thu Oct 26, 2006 9:06 pm

I have purchased at auction a beautiful ornate plated tureen. The marks I found on the bottom after unscrewing the finial are 8 crossed arrows and a capital L. I have been unable to find them anywhere. There is also a crest on the tureen. I will post pics of both the marks and the crest. Any help in identifying would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that's a silverplate mark used by Creswick & Company, Sheffield, England.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I wonder tho what the L stands for. Any ideas? Thanks again!

You're welcome. Not sure what the L stands for, my guess is it's a retailers mark.
