Help identify a French Pewter Makers Mark, please?

Hi, I have a set of pewter cruets that appear to be old. They appear to be old. Marked on the bottom, it says: Made in France. There is a maker's mark of "A R" with what appears to be a tree in the middle. Can anyone tell me anything about these marks? Thanks!

 

@MrsPerrysMusicClass, would you be kind enough to post a photograph of the pieces themselves?

Thanks for your help! I'm new to finding French Makers Marks and dealing with Pewter.

 

You don't provide measurements but... There appears to be an identical one listed on eBay. (No. 365912322535.) Seller has no additional information.

and two more..



diff maker?

 

I did see those, but they don't seem to know, either. I'm still trying to figure out the maker, though, as well as the age. I appreciate your help, here.

 

Apologies as this isn't as helpful as I'd like but wanted you to know I tried.

I have looked in the two pewter marks books that could be helpful but no success on the mark. One book is all in French, "Poinçons d"Etain" and I don't think there is anything in there helpful but I have very poor French. The other book "Pewter Marks of the World" didn't seem to have anything either.

I think that the "Made In France" mark in English will mean it's not terribly old. How old, I'm not sure and hopefully someone will know more. Googling I found suggestions that it would be 1920 or later but I can't document that.

I found two listings that make me think the letters on the mark "might" be A B.
