Thank you!

And sorry about the pictures - I had to screen grab them from Skype.

Will hopefully get a clearer picture soon!

Antique Questions Forum / Brass Lamp - Any clues for the marks?

« on: March 18, 2012, 04:48:17 pm »

My parents recently bought a lovely old lamp made of brass on the weekend. They were wondering if anyone had any idea what the maker's mark indicated?

For context the lamp was bought in Mintaro, in country South Australia. Most of it is made by twisting a square bronze pole that has lovely little designs on the edges. It can hold three lamps at the top, like a tree.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Many thanks.

Amanda

Wow thanks for the advice. I went to the link provided and mine is the middle pot - less like a coffe pot (the taller one) and more like the shorter tea pot (I'm guessing use here!). Although mine has no ornate work on the sides - it is plain (suits me more I think). When o figure out how to post a picture I will do so. Many thanks so far!

I have a Mappin and Webb teapot that my Grandmother has recently given to me, about which I know nothing! It looks silver, but has no hallmark - all it has is "Mappin and Webb Rd 509500" on the base... Any help?
