German Wedding Bowl, with Silver Stand - date of marks??
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 8:10 pm
Hi there!
I'm hoping that the fellows familiar with old German hallmarks can give me a hand with this piece.
It's an old Czech Wedding Bowl in stained cut glass, with a silver stand. The marks on the stand say "NOACK" and have the 3-Castle mark used in the city of Hamburg. There's a "C" within the castle gate - do you know which assayer this mark was assigned to, and what his dates of service were?
I also wonder about the silver content. Any way to tell from just these marks?
This piece has been looked at by a Czech glass expert, and a professor at the Applied Arts Museum in Prague, who think that the glass is the work of Ignaz Palme (Pallme), which dates it from 1829-1840. I'm trying to determine if the frame was made FOR the piece during the same timeframe, or added after.
A million thanks!
Kelli
