Good day
I have bought this beautiful silver compact today. I can't find any marks on it but think it may be Persian.
Any information would be welcome

Thank you for your reply. I have checked the button, can't find any markings. I even checked the body as I know sometimes markings could be hidden in the patterns. I will check in sunlight today for any scratched Farsi script as my unmarked pin cushion had some.

Hello Jannie

The dense vine and other floral images suggest Kashmiri work

This site has some good illustrations
