[26-1639] Today I can make fortune. I found where I'm looking for on a dutch website. A teapot from 1680, marked and in a perfect condition. A good silver mark, without others but that doesn't matter. I'm surprised for the price this seller will sell his teapot. I think a lot of silver museums in Holland should be proud to have this one in their collection. The seller tells in his small advertisement that the teapot is dated like the stamp explains at the bottom. He could be right the figures are the same! No doubt about that of course. I don't advertise for this person but it's good to show this one and think who wants to buy this old teapot? I know the answer like you all. But I don't recognize this mark of course! IP: Logged |

The teapot appears to be late 19th to early 20th century. The 1680 may be a founding date of the company that made it or it may just be a model # of the design. Nice piece. Fred IP: Logged |

If the piece is indeed English as the advert claims, it must be a model number. I'm sure that any company that had existed since 1680 would be reasonably well known and I have never heard of this one (or any other, for that matter). Interesting to see that our Dutch friends come across the same sort of over-optimistic and ill-informed advertiser that we are familiar with on our websites. Now, if the piece were by Halsema......
