Hello. I need your help to determine the manufacturer, city, year.

Hello
Your teapot and sugar bowl in the neo-Roccoco style were made in Paris by François-Auguste Grattepain working at 14 quai des Orfèvres. He registered 1 February 1837, erased 30 June 1856. His mark was initials FG, and the symbol a scraper (un grattoir) with a star above.

See Arminjon v. I, no. 01126, p. 139.

As you don’t show the Minerva mark it is impossible to tell the silver fineness of these items. Also in the future showing the Minerva mark will tell you place of production.

Regards.

JayT---Hello. There doesn't seem to be a hallmark, perhaps there is some mark in the photo below and that is the hallmark, it is hard to see. Thank you very much for your knowledge and help.

Asked to take a photo of the assay mark, found on the lid of a teapot, sugar bowl. 950 silver sample Minerva.
