Description

Hello! I am trying to find out the origin of an old copper bowl. The inside of the bowl is engraved with a floral pattern, has a wavy rim, and is silver-plated on both sides with a decorated metal handle. There are two impressed marks on the bottom:

On the left side, a stylized letter “H” in a frame

On the right side, a rampant lion motif, in a circular frame

The bowl was probably an ornamental object or ceremonial vessel. Does anyone know which workshop or country these marks can be linked to? Thank you in advance for your help!
