Bought from a French woman running an antique shop. I was told the piece is French.
Piece is solid silver...any info on marks or period would be much appreciated.
Thanks -

Hi,
These are French silver plater's marks.

Re: Teapot Marks
Thanks very much. The mark looks like a small ship or Anchor with an O and S letter marks for the maker under a loop...do you have any ideas who this may be by?dognose wrote:Hi,

There are few fast answers in French plater's marks, but you might read this and note Trev's entry of a firms list in French Advertisements section of Contributor Notes: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=52429&p=167641&hil ... es#p167641
Re: Teapot Marks
Not an attribution, but just an example of how the "O" for Orfevrerie might come into play in such marks: https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate__Init_O.html
Re: Teapot Marks
I think the maker`s mark is upside down and it depicts caduceus, the staff carried by Hermes or Latin Mercury.
