Just another photo. so you can see the stamps

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

A clearer image of the mark will be required if anyone is to help. Use the macro feature on your camera and take the image in daylight without any reflected light source showing.

Trev.

Just an FYI: stylistically it's Persian or Iranian. Trev is correct on the hallmark, needs to be clearer for identification.

så er der nogle nye fotos, håber i kan hjælpe mig.

på forhånd tak

It's definitely Persian. I have Persian vase with the same marks.

Interestingly, the first word from the left reads" parvaresh" then 84 and after that " Qazadian" and finally " Vartan"
I have seen few pieces with "Vartan" mark that also has the Parvaresh ( famous Isfahani Silversmith" name. While there is a Persian-Armenian silversmith from North West of Iran ' Azarbeijn" whose name is Vartan still alive, having seen pieces like this and other pieces from latin engraved Vartan with other engraved persian signature like the vase posted here, makes me think that Vartan may not refer to the silversmith but the name of the Silver seller. A lot of silversmiths in Iran sell their works to big or reputable silver/Gold sellers in the market who then display their work in their store and sell it under their name. It is like branding the work!

Hello, I hope I'm not too late with this response. Vartan was my grandfather. He lived and worked in Tehran, Iran. He passed this year. If you have any questions, I can answer them.
