This thin spoon is supposed to come from the German speaking region of Alsace, because it is marked 13 Lot, Master C.E = ?, fleur de Lys. Does anybody know the master? Regards silverfan
This mark is Striegau. Theodor Lemor produced flatware from ca. 1865-ca. 1872 for Glatz, from ca. 1872 - ca. 1878 for Gleiwitz, from ca. 1879-ca. 1881 for Striegau. From 1881 Julius Lemor, sun of Theodor, continued production for Striegau untill summer 1887. Source: "Rainer Lemor/Martin Kügler,...
I am not sure if the piece in the middle is a mocha pot, because there is no insulation between the handle and the pot. What could it be otherwise? Regards silverfan
Thanks very much, Traintime. The sign for the department did not change when the department number changed? So the sign for Lyon remained the same from 1798 -1920? Regards silverfan
Thanks again blakstone, if Paris or departments now is clear for me ( a Minerva from the Departments I did not find in Munich up to now). Where can I find that mint mark of the Assay Office of Lyon ("Arabic medial "m") in the Internet? (just to compare with the mark on the Mocha pot!)...
Thanks blakstone. The idea that "the standard numerals are located in different places" probably comes from Tardy 5th Edition English language (2005 Reprint) page 199: " For the Departments the head of Minerva is shown without the lock of hair; the mint-mark (Nos. 1 and 2) is placed u...
Hello JayT and all, here a new attempt (old post in "Single Image") with new photos of the mocha pot and its marks. I could clearly recognize the 1 near the forehead (therefore Paris). Is it possible that there are letters or digits under the chin too? Regards silverfan https://abload.de/i...
Thanks JayT. I cannot recognize if it is Paris or departments, because the Minerva is worn. Because of the position of Minerva and maker's mark I think it is clearly NH and not HN. Do know this maker? Regards silverfan
Does anybody know the maker who hides behind the initials NH. The mocha pot bears Minerva premier titre. On the Internet site of the French goverment I could not find this mark. Regards silverfan
Bear with K is assayer J.C.S. Kessner 1819-1854, second assayer B is Ch.F. Deppe 1842-1847, so that you can date your item in this time frame. Regards silverfan
I think it is a pap bowl for little children and a christening gift. Because spoon and bowl are made by Bruckmann and the spoon is designed by Christiansen I wonder if the bowl is designed by Christiansen too. Does anybody know if Christiansen is the author?

From a friend I got some Russian spoons (Moscow, kokoshnik 1908). At first I was very sceptical, but since I found the pattern in the Fabergé-Catalogue supplied by Dad, I am pretty sure that the spoons are authentic. Am I right? Weight 126 grams, 21,5 cm long. Had that pattern a name or a number? Do...
Dear Traintime, not Scandinavian nor Indonesian. AMD is Adam Manns & Sohn, Doernigheim near Hanau, important maker of the rose pattern (Hildesheimer Rose). Regards silverfan
