silver bowl embossed fruit - 800 & pictoral mark - Italy

[imnideit]

Hello,
I was wondering what these hieroglyphic type
animals or butterfly markings signified, maybe
Middle Eastern or Asian and not Italy but design
led me to Italian possibly,
thanks for your help,

I am not sure - but Hanau in Germany is a option.

Hello

I don't remember to have seen these marks before. But I've suspicions to attribute it only to »Hanau« - because it is a hand wrought item, and not a sand cast founded one.

Well for to could have a master model it must be hand wrought as well - or moulded in wax.

It would help for identification a little step if picture of marks would be turned 90 º contra clocks wise. Then there are visible two shield marks, one some thing abstract mark (until yet attributed to be a butterfly).

Kind regards silverport
