U welcome! ----____----
But the problem is that we see ED Bartholomew
But I know that perfectly well. The thing is, I can’t find any information about the initials of this creator anywhere.
I also can’t find indeed. And i would like to know if is massiv argent or plaque
From 1797 the mark of the “métal plaqué”, equivalent to British “Old Sheffield Plate”, was a square or rectangular cartouche containing:
- the initials of the maker
- the word “DOUBLÉ” or “PLAQUÉ”
- the figure indicating the quantity of silver (optional)
The thickness of silver was indicated by a number followed by a small “E”, “M” or “EM”, as abbreviation of Dixième (Tenth). The number represented the percentage of silver relative to the base metal (higher numbers are indicative of the poorest quality of plating).
