That's an old William B. Durgin mark, your piece is one of the variations of their multi-motif Bouquet pattern, introduced in 1875. Lovely example of Durgin quality. What size is it? You say it's large - probably a berry spoon.
Rainwater shows this mark with the comment that it's from Silver magazine, Jan-Feb. '93, page 31. Does anyone by chance have this issue? Curious if it says anything about the dating. It doesn't seem to show up very often, and I've only seen it on older patterns or non-line patterns.
