🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES (IF KNOWN):
John Rose, active in Birmingham during the mid-20th century, registered his “JR” mark with the Birmingham Assay Office. Working from Hockley Street in the heart of the city’s famed Jewellery Quarter, he produced fine silver novelties, card cases, and decanter labels. Birmingham was renowned for its silver craftsmanship, and Rose’s work embodies that quality — solid, detailed, and true to English decorative tradition.

The piece bears the lion passant for sterling silver, the anchor for Birmingham, and a date letter for 1968, confirming authenticity and age.
