These were made during the reign of Sultan Selim III, 1789-1807.

Each is embossed with a very attractive decoration topped with a narrow frieze of more intricate decoration.

They are not exactly a pair as the embossed decoration is different.

But the size, weight and hallmarks are the same.

They are both stamped with the Sultan's Tughra mark, the fineness mark and the assay scape on the base.

The tughra is akin to the sultan's seal whose presence is a guarantee of authenticity. In this case it guarantees the fineness of the silver which in this period was 0.900.

Dimensions: 9.4-9.5 cm tall, 7.8-8.0 cm diameter.

Weight: 227 gms (both).
