Hello,
another problem:
I would also need help to identify the origin and possibly also the age
of this tea or coffe pot.
Marks on the bottom:

I see a kind of lily on the right, something like a cup with dots around in the middle,
the mark on the very left is a complete mystery to me.
Anybody any ideas ?

thank you
Layrinth

I believe these are marks of German maker: Schleissner & SÃ¶hne; Hanau c. 1900

Thanks a lot jackk.

That would actually make sense.
I have another pot which is by SÃ¶hnlein & SÃ¶hne, very similar looking,
also Hanau and they also used pseudomarks (no cresent moon and crown) but this one I could find and clearly identify in the German makers' marks after 1886 section.

What led you to your believe ?

thank you

I don't have any reference, but I have the "cup with dots" mark saved on my computer under Schleissner & SÃ¶hne. I dont remember how it ended up there.

Thanks for your help, great ...

Another question to everybody:
Why doesn't a lot of the silver from Hanau show the German cresent moon and crown hallmarks although clearly produced after 1886.
I thought it was (and still is) a law in Germany ?

thank you
