- Abstract
The paper presents the unknown town’s silver hallmark of Morąg (Mohrungen), which until now was misattributed to Olsztyn (Allenstein). It expands the list of towns from the territory of present-day Poland in which silversmiths are known to have worked in the early modern period. The hallmark was discovered on a chalice and a paten dated to 1775, alongside another mark — combined capital letters MK in a rectangular field. Based on archival evidence, the latter sign was attributed to Michael Kemberger (1737–1795), previously not described in the literature, while the chalice and the paten were identified as belonging to Evangelical St Peter and St Paul Church in Morąg, for which they were presented as a replacement for silver paraphernalia stolen in 1775.
