This set of pseudo hallmarks is not identified but is illustrated in H.A. Crosby Forbes, John Devereux Kernan, and Ruth S. Wilkins, Chinese Export Silver, 1975, p. 247, fig. 276, no. 215. The marks appear on a tray (or teapot stand) that was probably for the Continental market and is dated to the first third of the nineteenth century.
