Hi,

I read the name Kerkowski or Karkowski and to me it sounds Polish.

The two identical 12-loth marks seems to be a combination of fineness and perhaps the first letter (in uncial or gothic script) in the the name of the city. Is it a "G"?

The sugar or sweetmeat basket is made in the first quarter of the 19th century in the German states or in the Austrian-Hungarian empire.

Hope this helps.

Best regards/JAKJO
