Your double salt dish was made in Paris of 950 standard silver between 1819-1838 as seen by the Michelangelo head facing right in an octagonal reserve, and a guarantee mark of the head of Ceres facing left in an oval reserve. The maker was Sixte-Simon Rion, initials SSR, symbol “la bisse de Milan représentant un serpent tenant un enfant dans sa gueule,” or the heraldic symbol of Milan of a serpent holding a child in its mouth. Rion used this mark at his establishment at 27 rue de Harley between 20 October 1807 and 20 April 1824, when he began to use another mark. Rion was the successor to Firmin Caüet working at the same address from 1801-1807.

The other mark is that of demoiselle Francoise Nicolas (Arminjon I, no. 02741; mark “Nicolas” with “F” in parentheses, with device of the sun in splendor). She was listed as a spoonmaker, 89 rue Quincampoix, her mark registered 5 Mar 1833, cancelled 3 May 1844.
I have not been able to find any additional information on her, though she was undoubtedly the successor of Francois Nicolas, a spoonmaker working 25 Feb 1828 – 5 Mar 1833 at 14 rue Platre-Ste. Avoye, whose mark was “F. Nicolas” with the same device. (Arminjon I, no. 01206). “Demoiselle” would suggest that she was his daughter rather than his widow.
Given that Nicolas’ specialty and that her mark appears over Rion’s, I assume that Rion is the maker and Nicolas a retailer or re-seller. (Note, too, that while Arminjon does show two variant marks for Rion, it is not clear precisely when it changed, as he registered five marks over the years - 1807, 1824, 1830, 1832, and 1835) and Arminjon does not indicate which design corresponded to which registration.)

Your snuff box of 800 standard silver gilt was made in Paris by Claude-Louis Jonquoy, working at 83 rue Quincampoix. Jonquoy first registered 1818-1819. This is his fifth mark with the symbol of an imperial crown, two crescents above, and one below. You have mistaken the crescents for initial C. His initials CJ are found to either side of the symbol. This fifth mark was registered 27 June 1835, erased 20 August 1846. As the Minerva head silver standard mark was introduced in 1838, you can date your box quite precisely from between 1838-1846. Jonquoy continued to work until 1849. His specialty was snuff boxes (la tabatière).
