What Is Your Silver Worth?

Dundee was an important centre of Scottish silversmithing, and its makers struck their work with the city's distinctive pot of lilies (or "growing lily") town mark, taken from the burgh arms. Genuine Dundee silver — and Scottish provincial silver generally — is scarce and keenly collected today. Beyond its own makers, the wealth of the jute, whaling and shipbuilding trades filled the city's homes with fine silver. If you've inherited any, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Dundee address, instant valuations and same-day payment.
We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists who read hallmarks for a living, including the Scottish provincial marks that high-street buyers routinely miss. Most of our sellers handle the whole sale from home — we collect by fully-insured, tracked courier at no cost, verify your silver at our office, and pay the same day. For larger collections we offer by-appointment valuations.
We Buy Silver From Dundee and Across the UK
We buy all genuine silver: sterling and Britannia standard, antique and modern, Scottish, English and continental. That includes tea and coffee services, trays and salvers, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, quaichs, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. Scottish provincial and noted-maker pieces can command strong premiums, so never sell good Scottish silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.
Understanding the Dundee Hallmark
Dundee silver carries a provincial town mark rather than a national assay office stamp. The emblem is a pot of growing lilies, from the burgh arms, struck alongside the individual maker's mark and sometimes a standard mark. As with other Scottish provincial centres, there was no formal date-letter system, so attributing Dundee silver depends on recognising makers and punches — specialist knowledge that directly affects value. Send clear photos of any marks and we'll identify maker, period and standard before quoting.
