Hello,
it was made by Carl Heinrich Schoppe, 1789-1823, from Berlin.
Best regards,
Ringo

Hi. Thank you very much. So I am assuming it is around 800 silver, is this correct? Also I am guessing the one hallmark is a bear for Berlin. Does anyone know what the other hallmark is (the one that looks like a running ghost). Possibly an import mark? Just trying to learn more about Continental silver. Thanks for your time
