Help with age and smith maker

I doubt either will have any influence on the value, as the damage is evident !

but someone here should know...

835 as a fineness standard is relatively limited as to location. But I've looked at the few countries that have used it and come up empty for the meaning of the oval mark. Can't even narrow down the already limited country list. Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Austria.

 

I dont understand. Please explain more

 

it's a nice coffee pot , but the condition it's in is terrible......
it's below 925 Sterling....and unless the maker is famous.....or the pot is from the 1500's.........both of which I highly doubt.........it's only value is in it's melt weight.

 

The oval mark looks like King Erik to me, the mark for Stockholm, Sweden.
There are different versions of the mark for different periods.
I'm sure @DragonflyWink can tell us more.

 

Antique and vintage Continental European silver is generally below .925, yet it sells.

Anyone who doesn't want their .835 silver, send it to me, I'll give it a loving home.

 

Have information on pot? Do you mean is very old?

 

The only information I have is the fineness and the probable Stockholm mark, I just gave you that.
With a .835 fineness mark it isn't likely to be very old by my definition, my guess would be late 19th. So not very old, but certainly antique.

I also tagged someone who knows more about it than I do. You will have to be patient.

 

Thank you

 

which is probably significant, considering it’s size

that’s the kinda thing I hope to find in thrift shops. Most of the thrift shop workers a sorting out sterling & gold stuff anymore, but they don’t always recognize foreign marks or numerical fineness other than 925

I’d be thrilled to find such an item, and my desire to learn more would drive me to identify the mark too…even going in my scrap pile
