<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3961283, member: 18716&quot;]Ok, so the mark appears to be 武大方 which is generally Takeshi - but it is very common for Japanese to find the same characters used for different names, so perfectly possible for it to be taken as Takehiko.&nbsp; There is also a Japanese silver smith Seki Takehiko who produces work in this style, so that is almost certainly it.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the pieces I found were signed in the Westernised name Seki Takehiko, and two Japanese marks I found differed from the one on yours.&nbsp; The silver grades they worked in appear to be 960 and 999.&nbsp; Dates given are all over the place from 1900 onwards, the packing on some of the items (there are plaques in gift boxes) look later 20th century.&nbsp; A few pieces of this artist have gone through Catawiki, you can search them on their site.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
