    Can you help me with figuring out this silver mark? I'm wondering if these might be Scottish marks- the three-branched one kind of looks like a thistle mark to me, but I don't think it is.

    Not Scottish. What's it on? Might even be plate marks.

    A teapot. I think it might be plate marks after all.

    I know that mark, more like a lavish fleur de lis, but I don't recall who or where right now. Off to eat a bite, if I still have a workable brain after that, I'll take a look.:)

    Thanks. :) If you know it's a silverplate mark, that's all I need to know.

    I agree that it's a plate mark, but if you want to know who made it, we need either a closer picture of the gothic letters on the left or an interpretation of them from you.

    I don't know the next thing about silverplate marks, just a bit about silver marks.:bag:
    The fleur de lis mark looks like a Czechoslavakian import mark, that is what I was thinking of yesterday. The cartouche is a different shape though, and if it is plate.....:muted:

    I'm pretty sure it's plate and probably British but I'm not awake yet.

    I'm guessing that hole below the marks is a casting hole? This would suggest the item was cast in some sort of base metal and then plated.

    Those are English plater's marks, the 2nd mark is usually described as a Prince-of-Wales plume, variations of it were used by a number of firms. Is there some reason that the item can't be shown?

    The hole does not look like a casting problem,without a photo of the piece and location it appears there was something attached to that location. All precious metals and many base metals can have casting porosity.
