Hi rumtrail, The French website lists only one CM with a flower. It is une fleur de lys (a lily flower). This mark was granted to Camille Monot on July 27, 1895. His (?) workshop was on the Rue Charlot Paris 75. It is not recorded when the mark was withdrawn. There is no CH with a flower symbol. .

Hi Bob,
C.F. Heise was the assayer, not the maker. The maker's mark is the JU backwards J. See this site, main page / European marks / foreign hallmarks / scroll down to Denmark (I don't know how to make a hot link).
