CENTURY in Renaissance style, oval, relief chased in fine detail with the 'Judgement of Paris', the rim also richly chased with fruits and foliage interrupted by four heads, pseudo marks of a B and anchor conjoined, an animal's head facing, a fruit and an eagle displayed 26cm, 272gr (8oz) A number of fine 'Historismus' style pieces bearing this mark have been recorded, but sadly the maker remains unidentified. He was clearly working to fulfill an expanding market for old silver. W.H Singer in The Art Journal of 1880, pp. 313/314, records 'it is curious that at the present time Germany is the country where are produced nearly all the forgeries of old silver work, such as ewers and hanaps (Old French for a cup) with which the London shops and salerooms are filled...'. See the exhibition catalogue 'Macht & Pracht, Europas Glanz im 19. Jahrhundert', 2006, p.264, dedicated to German 19th century decorative arts in earlier styles, where a table centrepiece by the B and anchor maker and stamped with an 'N' mark is ascribed to the firm of Neresheimer of Hanau. This may well be an incorrect attribution, since the B and anchor maker would appear to have been working considerably earlier in the 19th century than Neresheimer. For a magnificent parcel-gilt and enamelled cup and cover with the same marks as this dish, see Sotheby's, London, 1 November 2017, lot 842.
