Hi there!
I wonder if anyone coulöd answer what these sterling silver items are used for?
At first i thought they were chopsticks rests, but I guess they are not in the right design.

Many thanks in advance!

Many thanks Bumbul:)

Hi everyone!

Thanks for Your information!
I forgot to tell you I had identified the swedish importmarks, but what does the other one means? CS and the "fish" to the right?
It looks similar to cum shing, chinese export marks? http://www.925-1000.com/chinex_marks.html

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks again!

« on: February 16, 2012, 02:40:34 pm »

Could anyone help me identify these silver marks?

They belong to a heavy, beautiful silver bowl.

There are importmarks (the ovale "catfoot") and some makers mark, and the figure to the right looks a bit like a fish??

Would be very grateful for any information!

Thanks
