Hello Guido
Happy New Year!
The maker of your cruet I believe to be Grégoire Thurot, hollowware maker (la grosserie), initiials G pellet T, symbols a bee above and a horn of plenty below. To be absolutely certain of the maker, you would need to show all marks to see if the working dates of Thurot concord with the other marks. It is also useful to see all marks to know where to begin research.
Thurot worked in Paris at 22 cour de Harley. He registered his mark on 15 January 1833, erased 29 March 1852.

See Arminjon I, no. 01367, p. 159.

Regards.

Hello, in the following you will find the photo showing the silversmith's mark near the "Minerva" so the cruet was made between 1838 and 1853.
At first I didn't understand your request, thanks again.
