Author	Topic: Very unusual & interesting dish?
verwald Posts: 27 Registered: May 2001	posted 01-27-2005 08:32 PM [01-2147] I bought a very interesting little dish at the Miami Beach Show. It is 4 1/2" in diameter, standing on a ring foot. It seems to be telling a story - An eagle chasing a squirrel? Very dainty & intricate reticulation. The hallmarks are [H.H.in a rectangle] then, a lion passant looking to the right, a head, and ? Do you think it is French? I would appreciate any information anyone can give me. Thanks! IP: Logged

blakstone Posts: 493 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 01-28-2005 07:55 PM I'm pretty sure the "R" year mark is for 1927. The lion, in this position, indicates the 2nd standard of .833 silver. And the "HH" maker's mark is that of the firm of H. Hooijkaas, Schoonhovense Zilverfabriek of Schoonhoven, used 1924 - 1943. IP: Logged
