[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10232474, member: 2844"]The mark isn't HS, but it has a central axis which would indicate an I or a T. Since you are in the Netherlands and it looks like Djokja/Yogya ware, my guess would be that it is one of the marks used by HST. HST was one of the silver workshops in Kota Gede, the silvertown near the city of Yogyakarta, Central Java. It isn't a hallmark, btw. Hallmarks are official marks punched by an assay office or an official guild after an item is tested. It is called 'hallmark' after the guild halls where testing and assaying used to be done.[/QUOTE]
