[artemisiana]

did you try to research on the silvercollection dot it website?

[junk11211]

yes  & i tried other sites plus general google search for makers marks with  w&. .  - i don't know where it was made & i don't know the three other marks - star, dog ?  &  fleur de lis

To help you with your research...that's a goat, not a dog.

[wilsonhepple]

I should add that the small babies are often referred to as putti, or putto.

Try searching Olympian design, or scene.

thanks, i appreciate all the help i can get - are you saying the putti are playing with a goat - or that the hallmark i said may be a dog is really a goat?

[wilsonhepple]

Yes, it's a goat..

I've never seen 6 inch horns on a dog.

As to the hallmarks, there are many sites you can google to find the maker.
