Spoons with this type of shovel are used (here in Switzerland, do not know about other countries) to scoop and measure tea.

Re: What is the function of these two items?
Hi and thank you for your replies All 3 items have a "800" on the handle. Easy to recognize on the knife, harder to decipher on the other two items. To the function, Bahner proposed butter and cheese, confirmed by bijoux expert. Aguest calls it cheese / pate spreader, which goes in the sam...

Small Ladle from 1827, Ship Mark
Dear Forum Members Can you help me with this small ladle? On the back of the stem we have a nice large mark of a ship and two times punched "C I"? It is engraved with "C D 1827" and handcut decorations. The bowl is gilded, but the gilding is flakeing off. From the look of the bow...

Small knives made from shell or horn, use?
I have these 6 small knives, 15 cm long. They are made of plastic, or tortoise shell, or maybe horn. The handle is very small and short, too small for my hands. The blade is weak. What are they for? Thank you Jörg https://abload.de/img/20231126_104631vkde3.jpg https://abload.de/img/20231126_104528lx...

Tea Spoon from Austrian Empire, early 1800
Hi I found this spoon on a flea market in Switzerland. So there is no context. It has marks pointing to the Austrian Empire, unfortunately the marks are incomplete. On the Radelpunze, the 13 Lot is visible and the two numbers on the left of the wheel. I read a "1" on the top (as it should ...

Re: Ivory handled knife
Hi amena
there is a makers mark on the blade.
Why don't you ask in a specialist knive forum about the blade mark? There are some competent fora out there.
The ivory "Herma" with the little putto on the back looks like baroque, maybe late 1600 or early 1700.

Jörg

Thank you for waking me up.....
CAG is Caspar Anton Gallati (1777-1851). In Glarus (a 100% match with the coat of arms).

Hi
Yes, Switzerland, Geneva, the lion head indicate 3rd standard, 800 silver. The maker is known. As I am away from my references I can tell you only later, in two days. But maybe another member helps out in the meantime. Regards, Jörg

Re: No idea on this silver spoon
Here my generic statement: Swiss spoons usually have the mark in the middle of the stem, not at the end. I am not saying there are no exeptions, but I do not have a Swiss feeling with this poor spoon.
