[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3938352, member: 8708"]This was in a box of 50p junk at a car boot sale. I only picked it out because it looks like it has a silver rim and despite my avatar the sour looking pony doesn’t really do it for me!. It’s a bit of a conundrum to me as the vase doesn’t look particularly quality and isn’t marked but then why bother to put a hallmarked silver rim on it? I thought it would be an easy ID and it rings a bell with me that I vaguely recognise it but I can’t find anything similar on the net. I did wonder if it was one of those pretend hallmarks as found on silver plate but although the silver is pretty mangled I think the middle stamp is the lion. The P is very clear and there is a separately less well stamped D off to the left. Possibly the right hand stamp is an anchor but it’s not clear. Please can anyone help? Thankyou for looking :) Edited to add, I’ve run out of acid to test it but it polishes like silver.
