Does anyone know where this cream ladle comes from?

Thanks for your response.
I considered that, but the swan marks I have seen in the past have been tiny. See here: Swan

The mark on my ladle is is about ten times larger.

Zwickau maybe?

[Theoderich]

maybe
in the adressbook 1854 page 59
Goldarbeiter: (goldworker)
Geigenmüller, Johann Georg, Markt 21.
Jäckel, Johann Christoph, Leipz.Straße 376.
Chluttig, Karl Moritz, ebendaselbst 385

I think the ladle is about from 1820

It is Alexander Jaroslaw from Langenfurt (or Kempen (pl.Kępno)) in Poland.
