Coffee pot with wooden handle

Can anyone identify these marks? Thanks for any help

The photos of the signatures are blurry, but everything points to the item being made in France. Please gently clean up any markings, then send the photos.

Hi - thanks for your info. I’ve tried cleaning them up with dish soap and with silver polish, but these pictures are the best I can do. It’s almost impossible to get a good picture with the reflection.

Made in France.

Thanks again. So now I’m really confused - Spanish and French, but it’s silver not silverplated?

Silver plated. - - - - - - – - - - - - - - - - -

Thanks for all your help - too bad for me

I could be wrong. I’m curious what other forum users think about this.

French silverplate to my mind. The rectangular mark appears to be one of those which indicate the amount of silver used in the plating like this one on the left:

Indeed, Phil. That’s exactly what I mentioned above. The style of the item suggests French origins. The only thing that’s intriguing is that star…

One last picture with a tshirt over the pot to stop the reflection

A skilled professional restorer might be able to rescue that t-shirt, but it’s going to cost a small fortune.

Voilà!

Great research! So it’s somehow missing the “made in france”. Your work is much appreciated.

Or manufactured before the Made in France stamp was added.
