Cannot Identify Hallmarks on this plate
Re: Cannot Identify Hallmarks on this plate
Wow, those images look very blurry on my monitor, so it is hard to tell what I’m looking at. However, from left to right these appear to be 18th C French marks from Bordeaux. From left to right, the Communauté mark, a maker’s mark, and a charge mark. Only way to confirm is by posting clear marks please.
Re: Cannot Identify Hallmarks on this plate
I concur; specifically, they look like the Bordeaux Jurande/Communauté mark "H" for 1735-1738, the maker's mark "GT" with a star and crescent for Gabriel Tillet (Master 1703, d. 1757), and the charge mark "K" of 1734-1738. But, as JayT noted, the images of both the marks and the piece are small and not the best. I would like to see better images, but even so, an early Louis XV piece should probably checked out in person by an expert. Nice find!
