To add to this info, Buttner was from Strasbourg. This spoon in the Filet or Thread pattern was made after 1838 of 800 standard silver.

Charles-Auguste est le fils de Jean-Louis Buttner (1769-1840), orfèvre actif à Strasbourg de 1786 à 1840, qui utilisa après 1797 le poinçon à la cigogne, rappel de son établissement dans la maison des 'Deux Cigognes', située 14 rue des Orfèvres.


Charles-Auguste is the son of Jean-Louis Buttner (1769-1840), a silversmith active in Strasbourg from 1786 to 1840, who after 1797 used the stork punch, a reminder of his establishment in the house of 'Deux Cigognes', located 14 rue des Orfèvres.

Yes, the Buttners were one of those Strasbourg dynasties of silver makers and jewellers. Charles-Auguste’s grandfather was Johann Frederich the elder, and he was the nephew of Johann Frederich the younger, and Johann-Jacob.
