This is a 7" chased silver vase I purchased at the TS yesterday and I'm trying to identify where it was made and possibly what type of maker or hallmarks are on the bottom.
The vase measures about 7" in height and about 3" in diameter at it's widest point towards the center and weighs about 10 ounces and is either made of silver or silver plated. It has been chased with designs and some birds. On the bottom it looks like a spindle might have been used to hold the vase while t was being chased and it punched a mark through the maker or hallmarks.
Does anyone know where the vase was made? It looks like it may be from the Middle East or possibly from India, I'm not sure. Also, can anyone make out what is left of the hallmarks or recognize what's left of them.
Thanks!
Kevin
