Christening cup
Can you tell me where this cup was made from the marks on the underneath, and its possible age. Many thanks
Re: Christening cup
Hi,
If number ``10`` denotes the Loth fineness, then it could be either Germany (before 1886) or Denmark after 1813 when this low standard (625) was allowed, mostly used in smaller towns.
Can you show the whole engraving, please ? What`s written on the right of Anna ?
Regards

Re: Christening cup
The name on the cup is Anna=Lore. It could be a family ancestor, in which case it could come from North Eastern Germany , Silesia or East Prussia.
If it was Silesia though, that would probably be dated 1900 or so, and possibly anywhere near Zabrze. If it was earlier than 1840 though, I would be uncertain of its possible origin.
Marked on the bottom, are some roughly small scratched numbers about 3mm high. They may of course have nothing to do with the piece
