Hi,
The maker is Piotr Łątkowski (active 1900 – 1939).
The same initials can be found in an oval.
Poland web sites have no doubt about the attribution of this mark to Piotr Łątkowski.
Mostly flatware production, but also Zuckerdosen etc.

And here is the pattern:

No. 1031 (Empire)


Walter & Breuker - Düsseldorf - 1904

Trev.

Hello again,
Piotr Łątkowski was trained by Antoni Riedel .In 1900 he founded a workshop on Nowy Świat Street (New World Street).
This mark was used during Russian Empire and retailed by J. Erlich.
He might have retailed flatware pattern found by Trev with his mark added.
(Btw. this is beyond my understanding.Silver made by him during Russian Empire must be much more expensive than made later in Poland.
The same maker, the same or even better quality and not much younger. Only because of ‚‚Kokoshnik‚‚ and rather absurd popularity of Russian silver regardless of quality).
