Hello, that is the mark of the German Orivit AG. The second link does not work on my computer, so I can only guess that this is an art nouveau piece, which is what Orivit mostly made. Best wishes, Bahner

Orivit marks

Hello!
The mark you are showing is that of Orivit AG. The mark was applied after the firm was taken over by WMF in 1905 and evidently continued to be used into the 1920's.
Orivit items were usually marked with a 4 digit number- these design numbers were applied in sequence and can be used to date the items within a range of production dates.
Take care!
