This pair of Tongs are a enigma,they are an very attractive pair quite large (5.5") and weighing 48 grams. On the Bow is engraved a Tudor rose, and the puzzle is the "U" hallmark , l have looked through all Assay offices and cannot really match it to any of them.
There are no signs of any makers name or Hallmark on the inside, they could of possibly have been rubbed away over the years.
