Hi Joseph,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your spoons were assayed at London in 1764. They would originally have been plain spoons in the Hanoverian pattern, the relief work making them into Berry spoons would have been done later during the Victorian period to "improve" them to the fashion at that time.
As for the maker there is only half of the mark showing, so it would only be a matter of conjecture.

Regards Trev.
