OUTSTANDING STERLING SILVER REPOUSSE TEA STRAINER LION WINGED SHE GRIFFIN FRENCH

Description

This is an Estate Fresh old Tea Strainer from a long time collector of High End Sterling Hollowware.  I have purchased part of a huge collection and will be offering it here over the next several weeks.  This pieces are from all over place including Paris England Germany and here in the US.
This particular piece is a beautiful Filigree Handle Tea Strainer with Repousse' design around the Drain Bowl of what looks like 2 Big Lion Heads and 2 She griffins often know as Sphinx.  It has Filigree Floral decor with abundance and nice tool work, though worn, on the back of the handle.  The pieces come in Pristine condition and is marked with several hallmarks that I do not recognize.   You can see them in my photos and anyone interested in unravelling the mystery is welcome to let me knw.  I do recognize the Swan Hallmark for the French Import mark, but the one next to it I cannot make out.  I see the obvious .925 Silver mark but the JGP, the Lion or Sunface, and the "K" I do not know.    This sweet strainer 5.25" long and about 3.67" wide.  This Beautiful piece ranges from the late 1800's - 1920's but hard to say for sure.  It did come from France which makes sense with all the other French Silver in this estate
.  It weighs 54.4g or 1.92oz.  Its a gem and a great addition to any collection!
