Identification of Maker?

[DublinFusiler]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I cannot seem to trace the maker of this loving cup. Marks appears to be 'MF'.



Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The mark is that of Michael Fowler, a mid 18th century Dublin silversmith.

Really need sharper photos of the marks to check the date from the Harp Crowned and Hibernia marks but an educated guess is 1754. A nice loving cup. Douglas Bennett lists him as being a Quarter Brother in 1750 and a Freeman in 1751.

Many thanks Scorpio, that makes sense.
