Hello,
I found a nice cream spoon with a double makers mark "K" (or "JK" in ligature). So I think, the spoon could be made in Denmark. The rest of floral ornamentation on the handle and the back side of the bowl looks like made about or before 1800. The beading ornament seems to be made later.

I would be glad, if someone can help me with the makers mark or can tell me, where and when this pattern was common.

Kind regards,
Ringo

the cream spoon has ornament around 1800 - onwards, and a possible candidate is Jørgen Kastrup born in Vissenbjerg 1775
citienchip 31.10-1803 in Nyborg, but then I miss the Nyborg citymark.
Living in Kongensgade (street) dead 1833 vidow continues business with son Carl Kastrup, he takes over 1845, vidow dead 1860.

Hello Hose_dk,

I thank you very much. Unfortunately there is no city mark.

It is interesting, that you wrote, the floral ornamentation of the bowl dates in denmark from about 1800 onwards. Onwards means younger?
In (northern) Germany the floral decoration of the bowl ends cirka about 1800 or in the early 19th century and is combined with upward curved ends of the handle (like the cream spoon). On the floral ornamentation of the younger lanzet-handles the leaves are not hangin down, like on the cream spoon. The pearl decoration of the cream spoon was made later than the floral ornament.

I have found examples of similar kind of decoration, wich dates on the late 18th century.
So if it is from Jørgen Kastrup, I think it is an early work from him.
Do you have an image of his mark?

Thanks and kind regards,
Ringo

that was what I wrote, but not what I ment. My refer was to the empire decoration.

Hello,
probably it is not from Denmark but from Schleswig-Holstein/Germany. The usage of two makers marks was sometimes also practied there.
A possible candidate is Jacob Koos ( 1748-1818) from Toenning. He used several marks. One of this marks looks in some details quite similar looks the mark from cream spoon.
Kind regards,
Ringo

the patern is not typically Danish, but I would not that it is not danish.
Could be?

Hello Hose_dk,

I think, you are right with te mark and I thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Ringo
