Trying to ID maker/sponsor mark for jar top, hallmarked for London 1836
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2024 8:43 am
As per the title, I saw a lovely silver-topped panel-cut glass dressing table jar yesterday and could not resist it, especially when it is nearly 190 years old and they only wanted 50p!
The maker/sponsor mark is partially worn and it isn't easy to work out who it may belong to. It was assayed in London, in 1836. I went through all the London maker's marks at Phil's site yesterday afternoon and had a few that may have matched the marks on the jar top. I am still doubtful if any of those are right, one being I (pellet) D over A (pellet) D for John and Archibald Douglas, who was known for jar lids, but I am probably wrong, I normally am lol
I am not 100% sure what the top letters are, but the bottom two look like A (pellet) D or maybe a P/R.
I appreciate any help in identifying the maker/sponsor and thank you in advance.
