RANIGANJ .Stands 86mm height by 65 mm wide not the heaviest.Would it be possible to date looking at the pattern of the decoration a lot of effort went into a small beaker there’s also a groove just under the rim of cup ?

    Personally, would probably be looking for a 'Rev. Nelson' who was posted to Colonial India or Burma (not unusual for Indian and Burmese silver to be unmarked)...
