Hi! I got this incense holder that had a sterling 925 mark on the inside and a very tiny square/triangular mark on its side. The marking is very blurry and looks somewhat like a U and N shape.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
seems to be very ornate in decoration, and somewhat influenced by the east in design, however if there are the words ‘sterling’ or ‘925’ it can point to a number of places outside that area, try having a peek on www.925-1000.com and maybe you will find a similar mark. Its square in my eyes, just a little rubbed.
This might be an Israeli mark of the '50s-'70s, with the number “12” or “13” inside the Hebrew letter “mem”. If so, the is called Bezalel style (though it’s not a real Bezalel item) and is inspired by Yemenite filigree work.
