I was gifted this antique silver tea set from my grandparents. It have old hallmarks on it and has ivory in the handles. Wanted to know what I could get for it. I think that the one of the marks (RS) is for Richard Sawer, Dublin - req 1797. silversmith - 2 Salus Court, Fishamble St. died 1812. But the issue is that it matches the (RS) that I looked up but it has a boarder around the (RS) that matches the boarder of the Royal Irish Silver Co. I think that one mark (h) is for the year 1853. These marks are on two of the pieces. Then on the two others in the set have a mark (JS) which I believe is for John Smith - Dublin - reg 1827 - silversmith - 12 Grafton St. (1827) Craredon St. (1850). It has a (M) year mark with I believe is for the year 1882. These two pieces also have MARSH on them stamped? Dont know what those mean. On all 4 pieces, it has three other marks that I don't know.. One looks like an Eire/Harp with a crown on top of it One looks like a guy standing over something One looks like a lady facing left with a small ponytail like hair on the back On the plater, there is a couple stars and a Crest on it that says Crede Deo - Latin for "Trust in God" J H H Atkinson Coat of Arms James Henry Hollis Atkinson, son of Thomas Bradford Lieutenant-General British Army https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bradford-5809 James Henry Hollis (Bradford) Atkinson (1819 - 1871) James was born in London, England in 1819.
