THOMAS GLASER Pin Tray identification

Post by SilverPaul »

Hello,

I have acquired this small tray and would like to know who is the orignal maker and where it is from?

If anyone can also tell me what the style of this work, and exactly what is depicted in the scene is this nude ladies paints another?

They would be Hanau marks.

Good day,

Trev is correct that the marks on the top right appear to be Hanau marks, for myself can't identify the silversmith. Let's see what our more experienced members have to say.

The London import marks appear to be TG which would refer to the London import agent, the English lion passant for sterling (925/1000 parts silver), London date letter which is either the capital letter R for 1892 or B for 1877, F stands for import, and the uncrowned leopard for the city of London.

Hope this helps.
Warren
