    Picked up this set of lidded cup holders? but could use a lot help with identification, as well as age. Appears to be silver and marked. Assume 20th century. Not sure why images are rotating. Help for a newbie, please!

    Welcome. If you have Windows 10, click on the picture and at the top of the screen you will see an edit & create tab. Click on this and rotate and save a copy. Maybe there is an easier way, but this is what I do

    Thank you, kiko, using my iPad though and the first photo worked. The others changed orientation though, for some reason. It looks like it is happening when I choose the resize option. Well, I can figure this out but could use your assistance with these cups!

    How to Flip Your Pictures in the iOS 13 & iPad OS Photos App:
    1. Open the Photos app.
    2. Open the image you want to flip.
    3. Tap Edit in the top right corner.
    4. In the Edit screen, select the crop icon.
    5. Tap the flip tool icon on the top left to flip your image horizontally.

    The photos as they are stored have proper orientation. It is only when I upload here and resize image. I appreciate your willingness to help, as well as your patience, kiko!

    Daniel. My experience here is sometimes photos post straight from the box and sometimes they inexplicably flip. What I do when I see a photo is flipped, I lock it in by flipping it manually all the way around until I get the right orientation. I will guess that this places a code on the photo that stops it from flipping here. I am only offering you my work around. I'm sure there is a way to properly do this. Kiko

    The larger mark is “慶福星天記”. I can’t read the smaller mark though, it’s quite blur.
    This maker was established in 1822 Shanghai, and still in business. During my search on the internet, it seems they still use this mark in mid 20C. I know nothing about silver, so can’t help you with the date.

    Yes, The hall mark first established during 1822-1846, named "恒記" instead of "天記". This mark is used during 1911-1949. So they are republic period.

    BTW, would you like to sell them? I love them. :cigar:

    Thank you. I will never say never to selling but I am more of a collector than a reseller. Your knowledge is very much appreciated. Would you mind taking a look at two other chinese pieces that I picked up last week. I posted under pottery category. I would appreciate your insight!
