Thank you for your assistance.

This mark is on an old Asian/Mid Eastern samovar type piece. The color of the metal is a slightly gold tinted silver color. Testing indicates it’s a silver alloy of some type. These marks are on the spigot and there are no other marks.

Thank you

Thank you for your help.

The tank is 20 inches tall and 12 inches wide at the handles. It’s a golden color with some green tarnish on the tray. Probably a nickel-brass alloy. The tray has 4 butterflies with the Chinese LU symbol in the center. The chimney running up the center of the tank looks like an expended artillery shell made of heavy brass. The chimney is open at the top and the bottom. There is a grate at the bottom to hold the embers/wood inside while burning.

The tank, drip cup, and tray are all the same color. It’s strange that the tray has a Chinese symbol and the spigot handle has a mark that is not Chinese..
