17th century Dutch Trefid spoon?

[legrandmogol]

This might not be Dutch at all but the style of the monogram looks exactly like the monograms on 2 of my 17-century Dutch (Frisian) spoons. The maker's mark looks like a JG or LG? Any help would be appreciated

Hello legrandmogul,

I can offer Isaak Stael vrom the city of Emden in East Frisia, Lower Saxony, northern Germany. He became Master 1704. I am not sure, but region and style fit well.

Kind regards,
Ringo

Hi, that looks like a good possibility and a probabla match. I figured I would just never know. Do you mind my asking where you got the information? I'm always trying to increase my silver library
