I have an apparently old spoon for spices (length 13.3 cm) with interesting marks: the digit 84, crowned letter W and probably the maker’s mark GRE. Help me please to identify this item.

I have ancient spoon and I would like to know detailed information about it. Looking at the mark with the crowned lion and the date letter Q, I can suppose that this item is from England, but I doubt it.

Help me identify the sugar bowl.

Hello, dear Sirs! Help me please to identify one old sugar bowl with the following marks: the six-pointed star, unclear pictogram and crown (perhaps, is this Germany, Hanau ???) and a sword like as the Dutch mark for small items. Thank you. Regards, Elena. http://silverroom.ru/photos/138179/001_t.jp...

Hello, Peter! One more question. Do you know, what is depicted on this French hallmark?

Hello, Trev!

Engraving (oriental house with a tree and sea waves) is visible in the photo with marks in my first post. There is this icon right below the lion's head. Please, zoom the picture by click.

Re: What is this bowl intended for?

Hello, Peter!

Thank you for your help. Indeed, the marks on my bowl are very strange to identify as English. Apparently, it is really China, because clearly an oriental monogram there is on the vase.

Yours faithfully, Elena.

Re: What is this bowl intended for?

Hi, Martin!

Thank you very much for your answer! I've never seen anything like it.
There is a very expressive mark shaped like a lion’s head on this item... Maybe, it is English ember bowl?

Re: A mark shaped like a head Negro.

Hello, dognose!
Thank you for the quick response. On the box there is another mark "13 1/4", but I think, that it is not original.
