1900: EC crown with crescent

[orthogonal]

The cutlery was made around 1900 in France. The unusual crown with the crescent on top makes me curious for whom it was made.
Any idea?

Hi,
Crown of the Khedive of Egypt.

:) Thank you for your quick response!

Do you think the use of the crown was limited to the Khedive's family? Or could it be EC for Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, who was the British controller-general in Egypt?

Royal cypher was in Arabic,but there is Ismail Pasha monogram in Latin letters on glass,porcelain and pocket watches.
There were many members of the dynasty and they all had the right to use the crown,so,difficult to tell.

Thank you very much for all your help! Your links offer so much information, but still no EC in sight. The Earl of Cromer is still a possibility.
