German Vase-kassel City mark/berthold muller import mark?

Post by the_nosferatu »

Picked up this fine vase recently,marks are giving me problems,it appears to be german silver kassel city mark circa 1840's? 50's? with an import mark for Berthold muller london circa 1913, i have had muller import pieces before but mainly cherub figures early 20th century, i would like to know if this vase is indeed older than the muller import mark for 1913 or is it contemporary to the import marking in age?who was the original maker and is it indeed german,kassel constituance.
my sincere thanks for any help in advance, weighs in at 23 troy ounces,,its a big boy!
