Thank you for the reply, so are you suggesting that they may be the work of J. v Straten & Co of Hoorn or A de Pleyt of Schoonhoven? I have searched the Dutch site and haven't been able to find anything regarding marks for them. Thanks again for your response.

Hello,
Thank you for your detailed response, I have learned so much of history from all of the replies which led to discovering what the Great Exhibition of 1851 was all about, "the defining moment of the 19th Century"(Prince Albert), and who Sir Josiah Mason was. Thank you. I am a little confused ...

Hello,
I have new photos when turned 180 degrees clearly shows the letter G; also I have clearer pictures of the importer; maybe Barnet Henry Joseph?

Hi Trev,
Thanks for the reply; I have 2 questions, if I may. The inside of the bowl has wires that radiate out, is this a certain method of creating the bowl, excuse me if I sound uninformed, but I seem to have seen something on a site, some sort of soldering? Secondly, I have been on the ...

Hello,
Could this be some sort of promotional/award item? The crest inside with the marks seems odd? The inside shows the wires(?) expanding from the center out. Other than the inside crest I cannot find any other marks, such as a date letter.
Many Thanks,
Tammy

Hello,
I have found two new marks on the front of both spoons. The smaller spoon's are more clear. Both marks are very small & seem to have been cast seperately; maybe an applique or mounts? On the top of the smaller spoon there are two angels or cherubs holding an urn (depicting the ascension?), in ...

Thank you both so much. I just appreciate to know the history.

Thanks Doos,
I have another spoon which I suspect is Dutch and a silver box which has many(pseudo?) marks. I will submit them as soon as I get my camera back. I hope that is acceptable considering the previous outcome. I have a few pieces of British silver, an Italian piece and some sort of Czarist ...

Greetings from the Land of Palm Tree,
I agree. Thanks for the input. Pics are nice.

Hello Doos,
I zoomed & cropped the best to my ability. My Mother-in-law is in NYC with my camera or I would have retaken the letter d on the small spoon and the marks on the back of the larger spoon. The pics have a golden hue which I think is from my desk. I have never polished them and they are a ...

These are spoons that were sent in 1967 to my maternal grandfather in the US when my great-grand mother in England died .They have literally been in a box for the past 40 years.
