Old Dutch bon-bon dish?

Any advice as to the maker, the year and exactly where it was made would be extremely appreciated.
Many thanks, Jimmy.

Silver Bread Basket
Hi Hootsman
Please check if there is, somewhere on the bread basket, a Minerva Head. On the Minerva’s helmet should be a letter indicating from which of the 17 assay offices it came. I believe somewhere on the silver bread basket also should be a proper Dutch Dating Code letter. For references see:
http://www.925-1000.com/Fnetherlands_Date_Code.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
N.B the Minerva Head and date coding letter could be well hidden.
My first impression of the Marks: after the Dutch Hallmark Lion Passant, from left to right, two pseudo marks, the square ( AK(?) *2) maker’s mark, and two more pseudo marks.
Perhaps one of the other forum members could tell you more. If not I will be able to give you some more information after the 4th of May.
Regards
Oel

Update on old dutch silver dish
Thank you Pat and Oel for your input towards the dish. I cannot find anything that resembles Minerva's head, however I have found a date stamp which I believe to be 1902. The maker and the place of origin remains a mystery.
Many thanks, Jimmy.

Hi Hootsman
Thanks for your feedback. The Dutch date letter you found for 1902 makes sense. I believe the silversmith could be: Jhr Tjaard Anne Markus Albert van Andringa de Kempenaar, located city of Leeuwarden, province of Friesland in The Netherlands. Registered from 1901-1905.
The name is a mouthful and the silversmith carried the title of squire (Jhr=Jonkheer)
Please judge for your self:
