Help Identifying Silver On Copper Tea Set

10 years ago

Hello!

I could use some help identifying the hallmark on a tea set I own. The teapot top has a pear/fig and leaf design and the markings on the bottom state "silver on copper" with a rabbit & star below that. Anybody have a clue who made this? Thanks for any help!

How is it that the star is on top of the holder's finger? What are the other letters/words around the edge? If you're scanning the bottom, a photo would make it easier to view. My picture is pretty scratched up.

Annie, I think you'll find on a closer look that the fingers are the photographer's reflected in the very shiny surfaqce of the silver. The "other writing" is what is written around the camera's lens also reflected- the letters are a mirror image. The scratches are on the silver.

What? I guess I see, sort of. My brain is having a hard time with this one. You have a very astute and analytical eye, Colleen. Thanks,
Annie
