Hello all you lovely people again. next mark to identify please. Its a round dish approx 14cms diameter. It has Christofle, a mark of scales with C C at either side and the number 4 stamped on the back. Am i right in thinking its silverplate? and any ideas of date please. Thank you. ( photos attached)

Hi Bartholemew. I actually had read both of theses articles, but there is no mention of a number 4 ( or any other single numbers). I assume from the Christofle page though that the piece must be pre 1935…

According to AI: A date mark “4” on a Christofle item, especially within a specific shape like a lozenge or rectangle, typically indicates the year of production. In this case, it would likely mean the item was produced in 1844.
A Christofle date mark “4” in a square typically indicates a date between April 1922 and May 1925. The Association of Small Collectors of Antique Silver article on “CAT” marks. Specifically, a square mark with the number “4” on this page from the Association of Small Collectors of Antique Silver is associated with a period of production between April 1922 and May 1925. The size of the square mark is also a factor, with a 2.6 x 2.6 mm square mark indicating a date between April 1922 and May 1925.
Bartholemew, you are an absolute star… Thank you so much for your information and time. Very much appreciated.
