Hi Collete,

Welcome to the Forum.

That's a mark used by the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co. of London.

Thank you would you know the approx year?

The company was established in 1880, and the use of a 'Crown' mark on silverplate was outlawed around 1896, so between those two dates.

Thank you so much for your help. That is very cool. I was not sure if I even bought something real. You were such a help
