The reason you've got no stamp is that your seal doesn't have a carved chop on it. ;)
Hedgehog, no doubt on that. Especially as they made hedgepig figurines, amongst others. That's a typical hedgie snout, nothing like a badger or boar.
I've not seen any Empoli made glass with that milk foot and rim. Or Italian generally, for that matter - the colour isn't right. I'm inclined to...
Don't touch the copper. Best bet on the closoinne is a Sunshine Cloth.
I agree on 1950s. I very much doubt it's cotton, it doesn't fringe like that. If it fails a silk test, it's most likely to be rayon or a...
I've seen similar marks on Italian silver plate. It refers to the fineness of the plating rather than the object.

I don't think that's a Brit hallmark or part of one, even. I've seen our stuff with just a lion and an assay office, but never just a date letter....

I am in violent agreement with Marie on that.
Tea. Leaf. Fresh boiling water and a proper tea pot - it's actually an early 1960s Old Hall stainless steel one, still the best I've ever had....
Agreed!
Actually, looking again, I think possibly Scottish.
I thought only those who made posts or a moderator could remove them. I don't like seeing people being dictated to or threatened either, so I...
