Author	Topic: Viennese Maker Help Needed
vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 02-22-2010 02:44 PM This makers mark is from a bowl with the Viennese hallmark for 1805. It appears to be WC. Does anyone have a source to know who this might be? Thanks. IP: Logged
blakstone Posts: 493 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 02-23-2010 12:36 AM Looks to be Wenzel Chalupetzky, who was born in Prague and received authorization to work in Vienna in 1788. He was admitted to the guild in 1792 and died in in Vienna in 1838. Ref: Waltraud Neuwirth, Wiener Silber 1781-1866 (Vienna: Neuwirth, 2002), p. 238, marks P2365 & P2366. IP: Logged

vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 04-09-2010 02:41 PM This is difficult to photograph, but certainly one of the larger filigree pieces I've seen. IP: Logged
doc Posts: 728 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 04-09-2010 05:51 PM Thank you for showing the piece,vathek. To my mind, the design seems more modern than an early 19th century piece, but the daisies may be throwing me off! I like them, by the way-never seen that type of design in filigree before.
