On the side of the inkwell, 2 rats with tools climb the pot. On the front of the pot is a soldered element of a double-headed eagle with crown an...

Hi Juke, is it an inkwell or? The marks seem fake to me. What could be the meaning of the mean looking dressed and armed rats. I've seen rats like this before on counterfeit Russian silver.

Hi, correction my not so impressing knowledge😏
Amena is right it appears to be the mark of Alignani, it also explains the absence of the national German silver mark, crescent moon and crown.

In my opinion, these spoons are in the naturalic (revival) rococo style. The marks are not convincing.
For examples see:

Hi shikiamondo, welcome to the forum. Thank you very much for your precious contributions. Please stay active on the forum, we certainly have a shortage of Chinese/Japanese language experts with an interest in silver. We really need you. Thank you in advance.
