Danish spoon. Who is the maker?

[Ubaranda]

Hello!
I have an old Danish spoon. Annual stamp 1875, assay master - Simon Groth. On the spoon there are 3 more stamps - "V.Christesen", "CP" and running winged man with a torch.





On eBay I found a very similar spoon, but there is no description stamps.

(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )

I guess that V.Christesen - is a designer and CP is a maker, but who is CP?

I would be grateful for any help.

Hello, CP and the angel (with the word "eneret" for protected design) are the marks of Carl Peters, Danish sculptor and designer. For decades he designed the objects for the Frederiksborg lotteriet, this spoon being one of those objects. Best wishes, Bahner

Hi, Bahner!
Thank you very much for the information!
Consequently, the maker of the spoon is V.Christesen. However, in all known to me sources told that he had worked since 1893, and the annual stamp on the spoon is 1875. How can it be?
Best regards, Alex.

Hello, that is because 1893 was the year the modern Danish hallmarking system was introduced. It does not imply that a maker or designer was inactive before that. Regards, Bahner
