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 bowl it could be silver plated, also, I recall I read once if the maker mark is punched double it is plated....
However, from the style it is from 1827, and this is too early for silverplate, and a double punched maker mark may have other reasons.
Is it maybe Scandinavian?
Please help me with the mistery.
Merry Christmas
Jörg
