French revolutionary hallmark?

I'm intrigued by a hallmark on the piedouche of a chocolate cup. This hallmark appears to be an eagle's head facing left.

Is this a hallmark of the silversmiths' association from 1798 (https://www.silvercollection.it/frenchhallmarks.html; les orfèvres de Louis XIII à Charles X )?
Or a census ...

Re: Kingdom of Prussia ?

Thank you very much for that information about the French wild boar marks and especially the left-facing boar in an irregularly-shaped oblong cartouche.
Maurice Meslans’ article is fascinating (https://www.ascasonline.org/articoloAGOS221.html ). I did not know that the head turned towards left was ...

Re: Kingdom of Prussia ?

Hello,

Thank you for your comments. And thank you Amena for the dolfin of Genoa.

The French marks are rather far from the Italian ones.

Re: Kingdom of Prussia ?

Hi Amena,
Thank you very much for your precious indications about crowned eagle and Savoy Kingdom. I hadn't really explored the pages dedicated to Italian silver.

I tried to photograph the two other punches, but the definition remains low!

Regards
DoCho

Re: Kingdom of Prussia ?

Thank you Amena for your comment about Kingdom of Sardinia. I am going to explore this hypothesis.

I was wondering if the eagle could match the tax exemption hallmark of the Kingdom of Prussia (https://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_5.html).
In addition, the coat of arms of the city of ...

Kingdom of Prussia ?

Hello,

This “confiturier” by Pierre LEPLAIN has three French hallmarks (master silversmith, 1st Coq and Garantie de Paris 1798-1809) but also four other hallmarks (crowned eagle, head? Wild boar's head, small rectangular hallmark). The crowned eagle suggests kingdom of Prussia.
