Unknown Hallmark - Asian Sterling Silver

Hello,

I have recently inherited a house with an assortment of items inside. One of which is this silver bowl.

I can not identify it hallmarks and can only assume it is quite old due to its tarnish and rusticness.

Can anyone help me please?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

On the lefthand set of markings I can only make out the second characters "銀", which translates to "silver".

I cannot read the righthand set of markings, but they are likely to be the name of the silversmith.

Please try to add a clearer image of the marks and let's see if other members can help fill in the details.

I concur with MGArgent. It says "silver" plus the maker's mark which I cannot read.

Whoops, sorry about that forum faux pas.
I wasn't sure about that, but now I know.

Hello All,

Thank you for taking the time to look at these markings on this bowl. I have taken another, clearer, picture and added it to this response.

Do these markings tell anyone anything?
