Featured B.E.P.W.F Crystal Bottle

I am being naughty. I should be getting ready for my two month camping trip that starts tomorrow, but I had to ask about this crystal perfume bottle that I found today. It is 9 inches tall. On the silver ? collar, it says "25 B.E.P.W.F. 800" Mark "7014". I gave a quick look and got confusing information. Please can someone help me figure out where and when this was created.

 

Just a thought......It looks big for a perfume bottle. I'm thinking it's a cruet from a condiment set.

 

Could be. I have no idea. If so it wil have to move away from the perfume bottles

 

The silver collar may be German. Not sure of that, but have no better idea right now.

 

Definitely German, although I have not found the meaning of the string of initials. The C following them is the crescent moon and the next symbol is the crown.

 

Yes. German silver plate.

I would not have found that. But it has the right marks for 800 solid silver. Electroplate may be in their name, but I don't think it applies to the silver in this case.

 

I posted too soon. Apparently that’s the name of the company. Here’s more information although it appears not a lot is known about it

German. Great. A place to start from. Thank you!

 

Crescent moon and crown. I didn't see that at all, but I don't have your knowledge and experience at looking at these marks. Maybe points to a maker?

 

I'm not sure why they would plate a small collar, but what do I know. Thank you very much.

 

So I don't feel to bad then finding this, as I don't have your experience or expertise. It cleans like real silver, but I have very little silver to compare.

 

Great find! It looks like it has to be between 1900-1940 or 50. There are a lot of numbers, could the 800 be the silver quality? Not that this makes a lot of difference. I admire the shape and design. I showed an area where I think it was cut/engraved.

 

If I remember correctly.....800 is the silver purity which I believe is called coin silver. 925 is sterling 800 is coin silver.

 

800 silver is real silver with a relatively high purity. The number 800 refers to its level of purity, and it means that your silver item is 80% silver and 20% alloy. This number system is an easy way to tell an item's purity. Another example is 900 silver which is equal to 90% silver.

 

Great info. I have also read "Silver items made in Italy or Germany are marked "800" which means they are 800 parts silver and 200 parts alloy."

 

Here is a nice little blog explaining it. I believe it also shows your mark. But no info on it.

Wow. That's the mark all right. I could see it as soon as @Bakersgma said it. I wonder if it means 800 silver?

 

I thought you already knew about the decimal 800 fineness for silver, Kiko or I would have added to my post about the crescent moon and crown.

 

Of course it does.
