Unknows maker CC with three stars.

Postby Kirils » Mon Jan 27, 2020 11:40 am

Hello. As the topic says I cannot find this maker. To me, it seems like CC or GC with three stars on top and something in a middle. Does anyone know who this might be? Thank you in advance.

On my monitor the maker’s mark isn’t showing, just the Minerva.
Please try again.

Wow - the mark looks quite blurry on my monitor. Nonetheless, this appears to be the Christofle mark for 950 standard silver used between 1935 and 1972: O.C. with a bee between the initials and 3 stars above in a lozenge-shaped reserve. To narrow the date of production you’d have to consult old Christofle catalogues.

The mark appears to have been stamped over an other. If I had to guess it would be the mark of Hénin because the pattern of your salad servers is Hénin’s best-known. That firm went out of business in the early 1900’s; perhaps Christofle bought their dies and old stock, as they did with Cardeilhac in the 1950’s. This pattern is not in production today.
