[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 324881, member: 5006"]Already posted right after the auction win in the finds thread;) Unexpected last seconds auction find! Blurry pics, described as very ornate metal little chalice... 5€!!! I was pretty sure it was silver:pompous: Bingo! [ATTACH=full]108384[/ATTACH] Marked on stem with the French swan hallmark for foreign silver. 6.5cm wide, 3.5cm high. No maker’s mark. Perfect candidate for kyratisation ;-)) I had to carefully straighten it back, rebuild one blue petal and a whole yellow and brown leaves and berry motif with twisted silver wire.[ATTACH=full]108383[/ATTACH] Before, the repairs are at 7 and 10: [ATTACH=full]108385[/ATTACH] After: [ATTACH=full]108386[/ATTACH] Proud of this one too :shame:;)[/QUOTE]
