Author	Topic: French chalice
suefromoz Posts: 58 Registered: May 2002	posted 09-06-2002 08:37 AM [01-0800] I am struggling with a date mark on a very pretty French chalice. I bought Tardy's (forum suggestion!) but STILL can't make out how to read this properly. I assume it is 800 silver but then I am lost. The numbers on the sides of the head are very hard to read but I THINK that it is a 4 in front and a 3 behind. I am also curious about the animal heads at the handles. Does anyone else agree that they are cats?? The maker's mark looks like HS or HB. IP: Logged
