French Maker?

Postby Athos » Sat Mar 31, 2007 11:19 am

Does anybody know the name of this French maker? I think it must be early 19th century.
Thanks,
Athos

I do have a coffeepot with an identical makers mark and have searched on several books and databases. The style of the pot represents 1880-1900. I'm also seriously interested in a good suggestion about this maker.

Hope this helps!
