[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 188150, member: 2844"]It looks like 'Djokja' or Yogyakarta silver, colonial silver from central Java, Indonesia. I sold a bracelet with a similar design a while ago. There was a well-known workshop called Sukristo, which used the mark SK, along with the silver grade. Sorry, the site is in Dutch, but if you scroll down the page you find SK: [URL]http://www.djokja.nl/werkplaatsen.html[/URL] Here are some of the Djokja designs: [URL]http://www.djokja.nl/modellen.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.djokja.nl/motieven.html[/URL] The mirror would have been made between the 1930's-'50's, in the old royal city of Kota Gede in central Java. The jewelry and silverware of Kota Gede were sold in the nearby city of Yogyakarta, hence the name Djokja/Yogyakarta silver. I have some Djokja pieces for sale at the moment, but I've never seen a mirror. It is worth quite a lot in a specialist sale.[/QUOTE]
