Hello to everybody,

this small server on foot - probably not a tazza - arrived some time ago as "Trondheim" with a "?". In the course of time the "?" in my eyes grew bigger and bigger. The mark with the initials has the shape of the Trodheim assay mark though, but the combination of both in one mark makes the Trondheim attribution highly unlikely.
The mark with the gate made me think of Bergen the missing seven hills however rule this out.
The Sagittarius mark shows the production months nov/ dec.
The chased Inscriptions give the loth contents and the norwegian possibility.
The mirror monogramm on top is composed with the letter "J", standing for a girls/womans initial or/and "Jul" thats christmas. The combination with the date "1750" and the Sagittarius month leads to the idea of a cristmas present.

Can anyone help with an information on where and who?

Best regards

Dimi
