<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 981764, member: 59"]The item you've asked about was imported - see the F in the lineup of marks. London, sterling, upper case T in a shield shape = 1894 assay year. The DF in a rectangle should be the "sponsor" for the import, but I cannot find a London registered smith with that mark. The design inside the bowl looks a bit Hanau-ish, so looking at the known Sponsors in London who often worked with Hanau firms may be fruitful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
