Questions About Rare Silver Marks
  • How do you identify rare Capodimonte marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    To identify rare Capodimonte marks, use trusted online resources as a guide. Generally, the oldest pieces produced by the Italian maker during the mid-18th century are the rarest. During this period, Capodimonte typically used only its original blue fleur-de-lis logo as a mark. On reputable websites, you can find images of this mark and others used by the porcelain manufacturer over the years. If you need assistance identifying a particular piece, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Explore a range of Capodimonte porcelain ware on 1stDibs.
  • How is Italian silver marked?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    How Italian silver is marked varies. However, the majority of pieces will have the word "Italy" stamped onto their surfaces, as well as the numbers 800 or 925. The 800 marking means that a piece is 80% silver and 20% alloy, while the 925 stamp indicates sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy. Some Italian silver may also feature a maker's mark. Find a collection of Italian silver objects on 1stDibs.
  • What is the mark for silver-plated?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    The mark for silver plating varies. In the U.S., the most common markings are EP, EPNS, A1 and B1. A UK silver plate may feature a wide range of markings. You can find pictures of these identifying marks on trusted online resources and use them to determine if a particular piece is silver-plated. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can assist with identification. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silver wares.
  • How do I identify silver plate marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify silver plate marks, first explore trusted online resources for some of the most frequently used examples. Most silver plate pieces will feature a purity marking, such as “EPNS” or “A1,” and markings corresponding to the maker. Photographing the maker's mark and performing a reverse image search may lead to a quick identification. If your search doesn't yield any results, try entering a description of the mark into the search engine or examining reference guides shared by trusted online resources to determine who produced your piece. From there, you can conduct further research to learn about your piece's age, pattern and other features. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you with the identification process. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silver wares.
  • How do you identify Danish silver marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify Danish silver marks, first look for tower emblems. Prior to 1961, solid silver wares produced in Denmark featured a three-tower hallmark. In 1961, the marking changed to a letter and number system, with pieces displaying either “830S” or “925S.” Maker's hallmarks can also be useful. By researching the maker's mark, you can determine if the company was known for producing its pieces in Denmark. Some well-known Danish silversmiths include Georg Jensen, Aarre and Krogh, Horsens Sølvvarefabrik, Anton Michelsen, Lynggaard and Meka. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can also be helpful when identifying Danish silver. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Danish sterling silver.
  • How do you identify silver maker’s marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    You can identify silver maker's marks in a couple of ways. One option is to simply take a photo of it and perform a reverse image search to see if you can find a match and learn who the maker is. Another way is to review images shared on trusted online platforms. You can also type a description of the marking into a search engine and explore the results, or have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform an identification for you. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of silver wares.
  • Is all sterling silver marked 925?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    No, not all sterling silver is marked 925. Although all sterling silver usually features hallmarks, these markings do vary. You may sometimes see STERLING or STER used in place of 925. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
  • Is jewelry marked Mexico real silver?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    Jewelry marked Mexico may be real silver. The Taxco area of Mexico is particularly well known for producing sterling silver jewelry, and pieces from the area often feature a "Taxco" marking. Genuine silver pieces produced anywhere in the country may also bear other hallmarks, such as 925 or sterling. If you'd like help identifying your jewelry's materials, consult a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. Find a range of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • What are the five standard British silver marks?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The five standard marks on British silver are the walking lion, the standing lion, the thistle, the crown harp and the image of Britannia. Pieces bearing the walking lion originate from England, while the standing lion represents Glasgow. The thistle is the sign of Edinburgh silver, and the crown harp is reserved for sterling silver from Dublin. If a piece bears the Britannia symbol, it means it is Britannia standard silver, which must be at least 95.84% pure silver. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of British silver wares.
