1781 Soup Ladle, JC/JG

[Granmaa]

A c.1781 soup ladle with chasing on the back of the bowl and on the stem. The maker's mark seems to be JC or JG, and I think it's probably Scandinavian. Can anyone confirm?

I have searched Denmark - sorry no match.
The first letter is F or T - to the best of my knowledge. Most likely F

Regarding initials - søn son is very likely - son or søn depeding of country.
Germany is also a possibility. Northern germany.

Finland out of question, Sweden as well. Northern Germany is not a bad suggestion.

Thank you both for your help.

Hallo Granmaa,
northern Germany could be possible, like Hose_dk wrote, but your mark is unknown there. Furthermore I do not know such appearance of the handle in this region. In my opinion the ladle was made in (Southt ?) Denmark.

Kind regards,
Ringo

Thank you for your suggestion, Ringo.

Hello Miles,

I am a little late, but I think my assumption concerning the origin was quite right. It is Frederik Janus Kreutzberg from Aarhus, Denmark.

Best regards, Ringo
