Featured Arts and Crafts? Silver Enamel Oak Trinket Dish

Does this look A&C? I thought it was pewter when I picked it up so
the hallmark was a bit of a surprise as I didn’t see it until I got it home from the booty.
The hallmark is a bit rough but it looks like a Birmingham anchor, a lion and an I or L.
The only diamond ES I can find is Edward Smith but that’s a Chester makers mark.
Possibly 1910?
What do you think? Thanks for looking

 

Wow, for 1910, it has a very modern look. A nice simplistic design that would have assumed 1970s - 80s.

 

I’m not sure it’s 1910,I could be way off, the hallmark isn’t clear at all.

 

Love it ! I thought later as well.

 

‘I’ isn’t much more helpful….

 

Is it a powder box?

 

Arts and crafts and 1910 make total sense to me.

 

@KSW, I mostly sharpened it a bit.......I'm not positive that's an ES up in the corner....you can see....it's a little messy, but I think it could be an LS.....also did you see what looks like a little dog that the red arrow is pointing up at from the bottom?? I also can't figure out what's in those 3 cartouches other than it looks like an I or a 1 in the 3rd one. ALSO, near the 'dog's' head, there are some faint letters....maybe Mfs or MSS? LOVING the blue color and the box it's all on!!!!!

I'm with 1910 arts & crafts as well
Especially by the design of the box

 

Screams arts and crafts. I want it.

 

‘Twas £3……..
Seriously though, I thought it was pewter so was very surprised to see a hallmark. Shame about the damage to the enamel but still a pretty thing.

Thanks Aqui,
I’ll get my loupe out again!

 

Nothing to brighten your day like finding a surprise mark on something once you are home!

That's a cool box!
