dedfamloot Posted March 27, 2014 at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 at 05:51 PM Thanks for peeking at this silver cup! By chance you can make out the characters much appreciated for passing it on to me! Probably a dead end as the piece is quite old.... always worth a try!

Lu Posted March 29, 2014 at 04:48 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 at 04:48 PM X京X天宝 is what I make of it. I can only read a few of the characters. Can you try to take a clearer picture? The cup is quite pretty, I don't think I've seen something like this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 29, 2014 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 at 05:44 PM The brand is probably 裘天寶, an old shanghai jeweller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedfamloot Posted March 29, 2014 at 06:25 PM Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 at 06:25 PM Thanks very kindly Lu and Skylee- WoW you folks know this place well. It appears from information recently accumulated that yes Shanghai is the place Qiu Tianbao the maker (thanks to Bill H) and apparently a shop now operates there by this name. Now to check the silver quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
