17th century Friesian pomegranate spoon by ?

Post by legrandmogol »

So many clover makers marks that I am not sure which this is. It has a break in the bowl and a later dolphin mark. Sadly somebody tried to clean it with a brillo pad so it's kinda scratched up. It also looks to have 3 generations of different engravings on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Peter! The fact that this was eventually reused as a funeral spoon is especially interesting to me.
