Author	Topic: "BEL VES" mark
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 05-28-2003 02:59 PM Following Stephen's suggestion, any ideas on these marks on a set of small spoons: Please excuse the poor scans, I'm still working on the technology. The first says "METAL BLANC IX", the second "BEL VES 15 GR" (although it could be BEL VER). Many thanks for any ideas IP: Logged

doobees Posts: 277 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-31-2003 08:07 AM The marks are in the right place for French too. I's hard to ID the makers here though... I'll get on the net and try Belves/Belver. ------------------ Suzanne D IP: Logged
doobees Posts: 277 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-31-2003 08:14 AM Belves is a city in France. I found an ad for a gallery/workshop exposition in that city that features ceramics, glassware, metal pieces, textiles and sculptures: " BELVES Exposition galerie Atelier des 3 Tours Place de la Halle 05 53 31 08 52 - 20 artistes (c�ramique, peinture, verre, m�tal, textile, sculptures) - sauf dim. matin" It's a start! ------------------ Suzanne D IP: Logged
