Persian silver basket marked for Mehdizadeh
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:31 pm
Could someone help me with the marks on this small swing-handle basket? I have been told that one of the marks is the name Mehdizadeh, which is a common family name in Iran. Does someone know whether this is the name of an Iranian maker or retailer? I have no idea about the other mark, perhaps a town mark?
A further question: can anyone suggest what this small basket is for: is it just decorative or would it have used for a certain purpose?
