[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 29340, member: 44"]Hmmm... I posted a reply on this thread about 10 or 15 minutes ago, and it has disappeared. Will try again. Snip, the Searle & Co., Lombard St., London, pot was made between 1896 and 1933. Searle moved to Lombard St in 1896 and moved from Lombard St. In 1933. "Searle and Company Limited, jewellers and silversmiths, were established in the City of London in 1893. They have specialised in antique and modern jewellery and silverware, handling corporate commissions, heraldic engraving, repairs and restorations, and making hand and machine-made wares. The company originally had premises at 80 Cornhill, moving to 78 Lombard Street in 1896, and 1 Royal Exchange in 1933 where they remain as of 2008." The finial is strange on this pot. Is that a stone holding the finial in place? I'm not sure what I'm seeing on the lid. At first I thought Searle & Co might be the retailer rather than the maker because I hadn't found any silver listed for them. I had found jewelry & watches for them on high-end auction sites such as the following: [url]http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20747/lot/161/[/url] I guess I'm wrong for now have found their silver maker's mark on the following site: 4th set of marks down [url]http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilvermarksXS.html[/url] --- Susan[/QUOTE]
