拍品資料及來源

The mark, PC in script with a 3 between and within an oval, has long puzzled scholars. The mark seems to appear only on Geneva gold snuffboxes of this date and is always found in conjunction with a maker’s mark. It is possible that the PC mark, although not officially recorded, might be a voluntary indication that the boxes so marked were of the 3rd title of 18 carat gold (the normal Geneva standard). In this case it is possible that the initials PC might simply stand for ‘poinçon carat’.
